The Philadelphia Phillies disappointingly fell to the New York Mets in the National League Division Series.

MLB free agency is beginning to heat up in the wake of Juan Soto’s massive deal with the New York Mets. The Philadelphia Phillies were not one of the final teams in the running for Soto’s services, but that doesn’t mean they have been standing pat, as they made a move to shore up their […]
