Phillies urged to pursue 2 star outfielders in free agency

The Philadelphia Phillies’ need for right-handed offense is drawing attention early in free agency, with two established outfielders emerging as suggested additions to their lineup. Philadelphia finished last in OPS from right-handed hitters in 2026, according to MLB Network Radio. That ranking provides the backdrop for a discussion about strengthening the Phillies’ offense through the open market. The segment focused on players who finished the season with the Seattle Mariners and Chicago Cubs, respectively. Both now face qualifying-offer decisions that could determine whether they remain with those organizations for another year.
