Overview

• MLB.com's Mark Feinsand listed Philadelphia as a potential fit for Alex Bregman if he opts out of the final two years of his Red Sox contract.
• Feinsand also identified the Texas Rangers as a possible landing spot for Kyle Schwarber in free agency.
• Schwarber is having a career year, leading the NL with 45 home runs and 109 RBIs while posting a career-best fWAR, which raises his market value.
• The Phillies made no major signings last offseason, and decisions on pending free agents such as Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto, and Ranger Suárez loom.
• Alec Bohm’s mediocre season has intensified talk of a third-base upgrade, though a Bregman pursuit would be expensive and could limit retention of other players.
