The rumors have already come out that they could look to trade All-Stars Alec Bohm and Nick Castellanos, but that might not be the end of the roster shakeup. Philadelphia has two key relievers hitting free agency this winter:<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Est\u00e9vez. Both right-handers were solid for the Phillies this season. FanSided&#8217;s Christopher Kline recently suggested the Phillies would cut ties with Est\u00e9vez, while also suggesting they would be pretty happy with the decision. Est\u00e9vez is projected to sign a three-year, $42 million deal this winter, per Spotrac.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the end, however, Est\u00e9vez (and the entire bullpen, frankly) came up small on the postseason stage,&#8221; Kline wrote. &#8220;Est\u00e9vez wasn&#8217;t necessarily the primary culprit for Philadelphia&#8217;s underperformance, but he was unable to string together outs in an important high-leverage spot, which led directly to the New York Mets&#8217; swift 3-1 NLDS victory. He&#8217;s going to make a fine closer somewhere else in 2025.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It may be a bit of a risky move to let Est\u00e9vez walk in free agency, but with him projected to land a $42 million deal, Kline is probably right. That money could be used elsewhere on different players. Whether it be a starter, an infielder, or a different bullpen arm, wrapping up so much money in a closer may be too bit of a risk for Philadelphia to take. Especially if they can get an arm like Blake Treinen or Kirby Yates on a shorter deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Philadelphia Phillies are looking to shake up their roster this season.
