Phillies Rumors and Speculation: Fact or Fiction on the Hottest Talk

The Philadelphia Phillies rang in the New Year in the same manner they have approached the offseason to date: nothing extravagant. They have not made a ton of noise this offseason and the current state of the market suggests that they won’t have a real opportunity to go crazy. 

But there are still moves to be made. The Phillies came into the winter hoping to find an everyday center fielder, first and foremost, and have done so with the addition of Ben Revere. In another trade, the Phillies acquired their everyday third baseman in Michael Young. 

Having dipped into the free agent market sparingly for the first time in a few seasons, the Phillies have thus far come away with Mike Adams, their new setup man, and John Lannan, who should serve as the club’s fifth starter, barring any unforeseen spring training happenings. 

A quick look at the roster shows that it is not capable of many big surprises, but there are still rumors out there and good players to be had. So with that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the hottest rumors in Philly. 

Are the Phillies preparing a big move or just adding to an already solid roster?
