Shortly after that report, ESPN’s Buster Olney noted that a “rival evaluator” believed the Phillies were a logical landing spot for free agent Alex Bregman, who also plays third base.

“His swing translates in that park, strong defense, lots of postseason scar tissue,” Olney wrote on X.

Bregman, a .272 career hitter, was a key part of both recent Astros’ World Series teams and the 30-year-old is one of the top free agents on the market.
