Philadelphia Phillies ‘Seen as Real Possibility’ for Free Agent All-Star
The Philadelphia Phillies may be nibbling around the edges in free agency, but this pitcher could be a possibility.
Former All-Star pitcher Marcus Stroman has had difficulty finding a contract in free agency. That may be changing soon. And the Philadelphia Phillies could be a potential landing spot.
On Sunday, MLB.com reported that Stroman is starting to see more interest now that Yoshinobu Yamamoto is off the market. While Blake Snell is still the biggest starter on the market, Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said that the team will be nibbling around the edges in the rest of free agency.

Does Stroman qualify? Maybe, maybe not. But the market has cooled to the point where the former Cubs starter is getting more interest.
MLB.com writes that the market for him includes the San Francisco Giants, the Los Angeles Angels, the Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Red Sox.
As for the Phillies, another MLB.com reporter, Jon Morosi, told MLB Network that the Phillies were “a really good possibility.”
