The Philadelphia Phillies ’ season came to an abrupt ending when the team lost the NLDS on an Orion Kerkering error . Now Philadelphia faces significant lineup changes as the team must decide how to move forward with its aging roster.

Kyle Schwarber is the Phillies’ top priority in free agency. The veteran DH finished second in NL MVP voting after a monster season. However, one MLB insider believes the team should focus on bringing back J.T. Realmuto.
