A couple depth moves — and a surprise Brandon Marsh surgery revelation* — later, the Phillies haven't advanced much farther along in their offseason now that the GM Meetings have concluded. Outfield upgrade(s) await, even if it's anybody's guess when they might arrive. Perhaps Teruaki Sato chooses the Phillies? Perhaps another free agent? The clock is ticking.

The GM Meetings, that's what. Beyond that, the scope of moves is very much TBD. The Phillies have a significant list of things to accomplish, and a relatively constrained set of resources to tap into. What kind of groundwork could this week provide? Will a top priority emerge? There are a lot of questions, with few answers to apply.

It's likely no position group on this roster has more potential change looming over it than the outfield. Does Brandon Marsh get traded? Is Justin Crawford a viable center fielder? Is another long-term deal in the offing, or will things travel a different path this time?

Dave Dombrowski and Don Mattingly met with members of the media en masse for the first time since the Phillies' elimination two weeks ago. There are no sweeping answers to the many questions surrounding what the Phillies' plan is this offseason, but staring down their tallest task in the last five years, the Phillies will need to do plenty if they want to make a sixth straight playoff appearance.

We talk offseason: What we know, what we don't know, and what the heck this offseason could possibly look like if the Phillies are to become what they believe will, at last, get them over the World Series hump.

Nothing left to do but wonder. The immediate aftermath of an elimination always leaves more questions than answers, and we don't attempt to answer too many of them; we're just kinda working through it. Sit in on our own therapy session as we lay the 2026 Phillies to rest and wonder what awaits them this offseason.

There is no easy, concise way to describe this Phillies team, in equal parts talent-laden and flawed, underachieving yet capable of heroics. That heroism, nearly up and down the roster, helped propel the Phillies to a wild Game 2 win and force a decisive Game 3.

Legacies are being written and rewritten, seemingly pitch by pitch.

Familiar foes in a best-of-three sprint. Will the Phillies survive the end of Red September and bring about another Red October?

By golly, they did it. It was a close call! It was 500% more frustrating than it probably needed to be! But the Phillies are back in the playoffs, and heading to Atlanta once more to face the Braves. A best-of-three awaits, and there's a Chris Sale-sized mountain to climb. But count out this weird-ass group at your own peril.
