Not that they wouldn\u2019t trade him if the right offer came around. That stands for everybody. I think he\u2019s less among that group of guys that they are more active in trying to sell.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/empiresportsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MLB-Philadelphia-Phillies-at-Washington-Nationals-24360545.jpg?resize=539,359\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 7021px) 100vw, 7021px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/empiresportsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MLB-Philadelphia-Phillies-at-Washington-Nationals-24360545.jpg?resize=384,256 384w, https:\/\/empiresportsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MLB-Philadelphia-Phillies-at-Washington-Nationals-24360545.jpg?resize=724,483 724w, https:\/\/empiresportsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MLB-Philadelphia-Phillies-at-Washington-Nationals-24360545.jpg?resize=539,359 539w, https:\/\/empiresportsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MLB-Philadelphia-Phillies-at-Washington-Nationals-24360545.jpg?resize=184,123 184w, https:\/\/empiresportsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MLB-Philadelphia-Phillies-at-Washington-Nationals-24360545.jpg?resize=262,175 262w, https:\/\/empiresportsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MLB-Philadelphia-Phillies-at-Washington-Nationals-24360545.jpg?resize=600,400 600w\" alt=\"Phillies pull back on desire to trade starting left fielder\" width=\"7021\" height=\"4681\" \/><figcaption>Credit: Rafael Suanes-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once the offseason began, the Phillies openly came out with their willingness to listen to offers on Marsh, All-Star third baseman Alec Bohm and starting right fielder Nick Castellanos. Marsh was viewed as just as tradable as the aforementioned, but appears to be more secure in his current role.<\/p>\n<h3>Marsh is a base-stealing threat for Phillies to mull over<\/h3>\n<p>The Phillies\u2019 starting left fielder hit 16 home runs, drove in 60 RBIs, and stole an impressive 19 bases while slashing .249\/.328\/.419 in 2024. On defense, Marsh saw time at all three outfield slots, though he made 97 of his 133 appearances in left field. The Georgia native posted a cumulative .979 fielding percentage on the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>While Philadelphia has been reported to be seeking more versatility at the plate, they may stick with the 26-year-old unless a favorable deal comes across management\u2019s desk. Marsh is estimated to earn $3.4 million in 2025 and won\u2019t be due for unrestricted free agency until 2028.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brandon Marsh may be safe in Philadelphia after all.
