Philadelphia Phillies 2027 Offseason: Four Free Agents Unlikely to Return The Philadelphia Phillies enter the 2027 offseason with key roster decisions after their NL Wild Card exit. Four impending free agents are unlikely to return next season. The Philadelphia Phillies are heading into the 2027 offseason after being eliminated by the Atlanta Braves in Game 3 of the National League Wild Card Round. With the 2026 season over, the team faces critical roster decisions, particularly regarding impending free agents. Four players are unlikely to return: Brooks Raley, Adolis Garcia, Jose Alvarado, and Alec Bohm. Phillies Offseason Priorities After Wild Card ExitThe Phillies' offseason focus will be on addressing clear weaknesses and determining which free agents to re-sign. The trade deadline acquisitions by Dave Dombrowski did not pan out, as none of the acquired players were on the NLWC roster due to injury or ineffectiveness. This has left the team with several holes to fill for the 2027 campaign.Brooks Raley and Adolis Garcia Unlikely to ReturnLeft-handed relief pitcher Brooks Raley, acquired from the New York Mets, struggled mightily with Philadelphia. He posted a 7.94 ERA in 11.1 innings after having a 1.96 ERA in 41.1 innings with the Mets. Expected to stabilize the bullpen from the left side, Raley quickly played himself out of a role and enters free agency on a low note.Outfielder Adolis Garcia was another deadline addition, but a shoulder injury cut his 2026 campaign short. Before being sidelined, he struggled at the plate, striking out 84 times in 259 plate appearances and posting a 61 OPS+, which would have been the worst single-season mark of his career. Despite providing strong defense and clubhouse presence, his offensive woes make him unlikely to return.Jose Alvarado and Alec Bohm Face Uncertain FuturesRelief pitcher Jose Alvarado, despite some dominant campaigns in Philadelphia, is likely done with the team. An 80-game suspension in 2025 and an underwhelming 2026 season, including a stretch where he recorded just one out while allowing three earned runs in consecutive regular-season appearances, have diminished his standing. The Phillies may choose not to bring him back.First baseman Alec Bohm presents the toughest prediction. Right-handed run-producers are hard to find, and Bohm finished the season on a high note. However, his fit is uncertain, especially if free agent Luis Arraez is re-signed. Asking Bryce Harper to play the outfield full-time to accommodate both isn't feasible over 162 games. If Harper is locked in at first base and Kyle Schwarber is the designated hitter, there is no place for Bohm unless the team moves on from Bryson Stott, their best infield defender. Bohm's defense was better at first base than at third, but it is hard to envision him returning unless major roster changes are made.The Phillies have several question marks heading into the offseason, and these four impending free agents are unlikely to be part of the solution. The team must address its weaknesses to compete in 2027.
