25 Players the Philadelphia Phillies Should Target at the Winter Meetings

Major League Baseball’s winter meetings have become an annual source of offseason news and a rumor bonanza, and the Philadelphia Phillies are expected to be one of this winter’s most involved clubs. 

The Phillies, who set out to fill three positions—center field, third base and setup man—have come up empty so far this offseason. Now there is plenty of time remaining before spring training and the Phillies still have options, but there is no doubt that the countdown is own. 

Because each team sends an entourage of personnel to the winter meetings, they’ve become a popular source of rumors and “reach for the stars” kind of deals. The Phillies could use one of those right now. 

This slideshow will serve as a primer for the winter meetings from a Phillies perspective. This is a list of who they should target and why. If a player appears on this list, it means that he is a player that I believe the Phillies should do their best to acquire.
