This addition is going to be HUGE to a team that already has a massive amount of talent. After a 2022 World Series run, the Philadelphia Phillies are hoping to take one home in 2023.
They are putting their money where their mouth is. Not messing around when it comes to signing perhaps the biggest free agent shortstop on the board.

He’s undergoing off-season surgery. He spent most of the 2022 season as our designated hitter and it seems that will continue into 2023. No complaints here considering how good this guy really is!
