Can the Philadelphia Phillies be a big-time player in MLB free agency?
While the question sounds absurd (it is), the Phillies do have a ton of money tied up in existing guaranteed contracts. In fact, the Phillies have nearly $1 billion of guaranteed money tied up in 11 players heading into the 2025 MLB season. The good news is a handful of those contracts will come off the books after the season.
Here’s a look at the Philadelphia Phillies guaranteed contract values heading into MLB free agency.
