4 free agents the Phillies should target as minor league depth
The Phillies could turn to these players for depth with spring training already underway.
The Philadelphia Phillies have pitchers and catchers in training camp, and with full spring training workouts right around the corner, there are still a few spots the Phillies could bolster with invites to spring training to fill some needs.
The Phillies continue to look for ways to get better, and the team did announce two minor league deals already, adding former top prospect Christian Arroyo and former Phillie Óscar Mercado as depth. The competition is good for the Phillies’ spring training roster and could provide an extra spark to get past that next level.
With a handful of free agents still available, the Phillies could look to further add a utility infielder, outfielder or some pitching help, as you can never have too many arms for depth. Here are some players who make sense for the Phillies this spring.
4 free agents the Phillies should target as minor league depth
Brendan Rodgers, 2B
One of the first infielders the Phillies should look at is Brendan Rodgers. He is a six-year veteran player who has spent all his time with the Colorado Rockies. He is a former top-five draft pick, selected No. 3 overall in 2015, and a former Gold Glove winner in 2022. Rodgers could look to reset his career with a solid spring training performance this late into free agency. He hit .267 last season with 13 home runs and 54 RBI and could turn into a valuable piece off the bench if needed.
