Weston Wilson Weston Wilson Scrubbed from 40-man roster
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 8:10 AM
The Phillies designated Wilson for assignment Tuesday.
Analysis: The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of J.T. Realmuto, whose re-signing was made official Tuesday. Wilson slashed only .198/.282/.369in 52 regular-season tilts for the Phillies in 2025. However, the right-handed-hitting Wilson is a career .250/.359/.475 hitter versus southpaws and offers positional versatility, so he could draw interest via waivers. |

J.T. Realmuto J.T. Realmuto Back with Phils on three-year deal
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 12:44 PM
The Phillies re-signed Realmuto to a three-year, $45 million contract Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Analysis: The deal can max out at $60 million if Realmuto reaches all of his incentives. Realmuto turns 35 in March and has been in a steady decline both offensively and defensively, finishing the 2025 campaign with a .257/.315/.384 batting line and 12 home runs over 134 regular-season contests. However, while Realmuto's best days are behind him, he remains a quality hitter compared to most catchers, still has a great throwing arm and is well-liked in the Phillies' clubhouse. |

The Phillies acquired Shugart from the Pirates on Tuesday in exchange for Francisco Loreto, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander appeared in 35 games for the Pirates in 2025, finishing with a 3.40 ERA and 31:17 K:BB over 45 innings. Shugart will compete for a spot in the Phillies' bullpen, but he has minor-league options remaining. |

Analysis: Duran notched a career-high 32 saves in 2025, posting a 2.06 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 80:19 K:BB over 70 regular-season innings along the way between the Twins and Phillies. The hard-throwing reliever should be one of the top closers in fantasy baseball again in 2026. |

Analysis: Banks' first full season in Philadelphia was a dandy, as he finished with a 3.07 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 61:12 K:BB over 67.1 regular-season innings. He will help set up from the left side again for the Phillies in 2026. |

Analysis: Richards spent most of this past season in the minors, allowing five runs over 5.2 innings between the Royals and Diamondbacks during his brief time in the big leagues.

With fellow lefties Jose Alvarado (forearm) and Tanner Banks locks for the bullpen and Kyle Backhus also around, Cabrera is a long shot to make the Opening Day roster. |

Mark Kolozsvary Mark Kolozsvary Nets NRI deal with Phillies
Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 10:57 AM
Kolozsvary (undisclosed) agreed to a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kolozsvary appeared in just 30 games between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester in the Red Sox organization in 2025 before landing on the full-season injured list in June. The Phillies don't have a clear replacement for free agent J.T. Realmuto behind the plate, but regardless the 30-year-old Kolozsvary hasn't made an appearance in the majors since 2022 and should be viewed as a long shot to break camp. |

Analysis: Pop has really struggled over his last three seasons during his time in the majors, collecting a 6.68 ERA and 50:27 K:BB over 68.2 innings. He had a 3.56 ERA in his two big-league seasons prior to that, however, and also boasts a career 54 percent groundball rate. Pop does not have minor-league options remaining. |

Kyle Backhus Kyle Backhus Traded to Phillies
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 11:27 AM
The Phillies acquired Backhus from the Diamondbacks on Friday in exchange for Avery Owusu-Asiedu, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Backhus is a sidearming lefty reliever who held left-handed hitters to just a .139/.225/.278 batting line in 2025. Righty bats slashed .365/.417/.571 off the 27-year-old, so manager Rob Thomson will have to be judicious with his usage of Backhus. |

Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 9:01 AM

Analysis: Bowlan had a mini-breakout in 2025 in his first full season as a reliever, posting a 3.86 ERA and 46:17 K:BB over 44.1 innings with the Royals. The 29-year-old righty had significant splits, as he held right-handed bats to a .182/.255/.250 batting line but was torched by lefties to the tune of a .288/.358/.575 line. Bowlan is not yet eligible for salary arbitration and will be under team control through 2031. |
