By most fans’ expectations, the Philadelphia Phillies had a relatively quiet offseason. While they made some important and necessary moves, none of them grabbed major national attention.

Acquiring left-handed starter Jesús Luzardo was arguably the most overlooked move made by Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski. That said, bringing in right-handed closer Jordan Romano to bolster the bullpen was also a significant addition.

The team’s only position player pickup this winter was outfielder Max Kepler, who signed a one-year, $10 million deal in December. He’s expected to take over as the everyday left fielder — a strategy the team hopes will work out. However, fans hoping for a bigger offensive acquisition were left wanting more.
