"The Phillies are now in offseason mode after getting dropped by the Dodgers in the NLDS. The outfield is going to be a key focus this winter but there are other details to be ironed out. On left-hander José Alvarado, the Phils will have to decide between a $9MM club option or a $500K buyout, a net $8.5MM decision."
"Dating back to the start of 2022, Alvarado has given the Phils 180 innings with a 3.25 earned run average. His 10.2% walk rate in that span was high but he struck out 31.7% of batters faced and got grounders at a strong 50.1% clip. He earned 32 saves and 48 holds in that time. As seen on MLBTR's Contract Tracker, 15 relief pitchers got $9MM or more last winter."
Phillies enter offseason mode after losing to the Dodgers in the NLDS. The outfield will be a primary focus this winter while other roster details are addressed. The team must decide between a $9MM club option or a $500K buyout for left-hander José Alvarado. Dave Dombrowski said he would be surprised if Alvarado is not back on the roster next year. Since 2022 Alvarado has delivered 180 innings with a 3.25 ERA, a high walk rate but strong strikeout and groundball rates, plus 32 saves and 48 holds. Infielder/outfielder Kemp fractured his kneecap and will undergo surgery along with a minor shoulder procedure. Kemp made his major league debut this year and stepped to the plate 218 times.
