The Phillies are focusing on bullpen improvements, recently signing right-hander Zach Pop and acquiring Brad Keller, who posted a 2.07 ERA in 2025. They are also negotiating with J.T. Realmuto, who is not seeking a three-year deal as he enters his age-35 season. The team’s luxury tax payroll stands at $314.3 million, resulting in significant penalties. Additionally, Bryce Harper has committed to represent Team USA in the 2026 World Baseball Classic.
