Daily News | What to watch at baseball’s winter meetings: Trea Turner’s timeline, Phillies’ pitching search
are available in free agency, and although at least eight — and perhaps as many as a dozen — teams are shopping for a shortstop, the Phillies appear to have both the money and motivation to land one of them.Beyond that, they must replace the 411 innings thrown last season by Kyle Gibson, Zach Eflin, Noah Syndergaard, Corey Knebel, Brad Hand, and David Robertson. Early indications are that the pitching market will feature few discounts.
It figures to be a busy week, then, for Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski and his band of executives. Here are a few of the more pertinent questions heading into the meetings, which get underway Monday:The guess here is Aaron Judge for two simple reasons: There’s only one player like him, and his market appears relatively specific.
Unlike the shortstop quartet, Judge is unrivaled among free-agent sluggers after a 62-homer season and an MVP landslide. But if the 6-foot-7 outfielder doesn’t return to the Yankees, only the Giants are reportedly in the mix for a deal that’s expected to top $300 million. It’s possible Judge will sign this week, and if that happens, the rest of the market may begin to move. If the Giants, for instance, don’t get Judge, they could allocate big money to a shortstop.
