A Bryson Stott bounce-back season seems inevitable, right? The Philadelphia Phillies came up short in 2024, falling to the New York Mets, a division rival no less, in the NLDS. The current roster is still among the best in the sport, but surely had its downsides that prematurely ended their season. The page has since turned to 2025, where measures have been taken, and players have been signed in hopes of not repeating history. The Phillies needing a bounce-back is an understatement.

The Phillies are on the hunt for back-to-back division crowns, a feat that escaped them for over a decade.

A club is only as strong as its weakest link, and the Phillies still have an obvious outfield problem. Rosters need to be reconfigured and holes need to be filled if any top contender wants to think about spending the last month of their season chasing a title. No single signing guarantees a spot in the MLB playoffs, but can get a club one step closer to a complete team.

The Phillies avoided arbitration with Alec by agreeing to a one-year contract but will have long-term decisions to make with Aidan Miller on his heels. The Philadelphia Phillies agreed to contracts with six players at the arbitration filing deadline, avoiding salary arbitration. Among them was third baseman Alec Bohm who agreed to a $7.7 million deal for 2025, per MLB.com's Todd Zolecki. Bohm has two years remaining under team control until he's eligible for free agency in 2027.

The Phillies are chasing their first title with this core but may have to wait a few more seasons if these predictions come true. All Major League Baseball clubs dream of the day they can hoist the Commissioner’s trophy in triumph over the rest of the league. That elusive title chase is driven by players’ performance and a fan base that is chomping at the bit for postseason magic. That intoxicating feeling is seemingly inevitable in baseball.

Jeff Hoffman's free agency came to an end on Friday with the Blue Jays, but not before some last-minute drama with the Orioles. Jeff Hoffman may not have been the most sought-after free agent or even free agent reliever, but to the Philadelphia Phillies, he was crucial to their bullpen success. He posted a career-best 2.17 ERA with 89 strikeouts in 66 1/3 innings pitched in 2024, leading to his first All-Star appearance in nine seasons.

One MLB insider says that the Phillies are still part of Tanner Scott's market, somehow. This free agency has crawled to a halt with only a month until pitchers and catchers report to their respective camps. Much was built up of the MLB Winter Meetings being the first domino to fall in a slew of deals to follow. On the eve of the festivities, the market got what it wanted in Juan Soto signing his record-setting contract with the New York Mets, but deals have been sparse since that massive plunge.

The Philadelphia Phillies have made adjustments to the roster in hopes of making it back to the big dance for the upcoming season — a goal they feel is still very much in reach.
