2023 Philadelphia Phillies

  The 2023 MLB trade deadline came and went without Philadelphia Phillies’ president of baseball ops Dave Dombrowski making a massive deal.  A self-professed wheeler and dealer, Dombrowski went with a rather subdued approach in 2023 by adding starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen and light hitting infielder Rodolfo Castro.

The Philadelphia Phillies lineup is out for Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Guardians from Progressive Field in Cleveland.  A night after debuting at first base, Phils’ slugger Bryce Harper will once again be the designated hitter.  The Phillies will look to put an end to a three-game losing streak on Saturday against Cleveland’s Tanner Bibee.
