Overview
- MLB.com's Mark Feinsand linked Boston's Rob Refsnyder to Philadelphia as a right-handed complement to Brandon Marsh in a potential platoon.
- Refsnyder posted a .959 OPS with seven home runs in 138 plate appearances against lefties in 2025 and offers coverage at all three outfield spots.
- The Athletic reported the Phillies are among teams exploring Astros center fielder Jake Meyers as a possible upgrade.
- Houston is said to be open to moving Meyers for a controllable major-league starter, with outside analysis noting Philadelphia lacks an obvious piece to match that ask and framing a Marsh-for-Meyers concept as speculative groundwork.
- Roster calculus includes Harrison Bader entering free agency, Nick Castellanos viewed as likely to be moved, internal consideration for prospect Justin Crawford, and the approaching Winter Meetings that could quicken talks.
