THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES' OFFSEASON PRIORITIES: REBUILDING FOR SUCCESS OR REPEATING 2011'S COLLAPSE? Host Connor Thomas examines THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES' critical offseason decisions following their playoff exit. He analyzes the team's top priorities, stressing the importance of upgrading non-star positions to support core players like BRYCE HARPER and TREA TURNER. Thomas ranks free agents, with KYLE SCHWARBER and J.T. REALMUTO at the top, and draws parallels between the current situation and the team's decline after 2011. Thomas argues that promising prospects such as JUSTIN CRAWFORD and ANDREW PAINTER could prevent a prolonged slump, unlike the depleted farm system of 2011.
