The Philadelphia Phillies still need to make improvements to their roster at this point in the offseason. The position that needs to be addressed the most is catcher, with J.T. Realmuto still unsigned. However, work could still be done to make another position group better, such as the outfield.
Despite undergoing some changes, the Phillies' outfield is projected to be underwhelming in 2026. Even though Kyle Tucker may not agree to a long-term deal as anticipated at this point in the offseason, the Phillies are still unlikely to add him.
According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, Tucker could end up needing to adjust his contract terms to take a shorter deal this winter.
