Phillies Predicted To Miss Out On FA Targets

It's a waiting game for the Philadelphia Phillies right now as they navigate the rest of their offseason.

The front office seems content with heading into the year with their current roster, and rightfully so.

They have made back-to-back NLCS appearances and were one win away from making it to two consecutive Fall Classics.

However, the Phillies might not be done looking to add.

Two pitchers still available, Jakob Junis and Phil Maton, were linked to Philadelphia as players the front office are monitoring.

They missed on some of their previous bullpen targets, namely Robert Stephenson and Jordan Hicks, but this showed there has been some level of interest for them to get addition players for their relief staff.

But, Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report is predicting that the Phillies will miss out on Maton and Junis in free agency as he has them ending up with other organizations.

Maton, who has spent the last three years with the Houston Astros, is predicted to land with the New York Yankees as they continue searching for addition arms on their own roster.

The Yankees have also missed out on some targets this offseason, so they could overpay for the right-hander to ensure they land a piece at this stage of free agency.

Junis is predicted to land with another AL East team in the Boston Red Sox.

They've had an abysmal winter compared to expectations and have to add someone on their roster.

This would be disappointing for Philadelphia if these predictions come true and they whiff on another set of relievers.

They are clearly in the market to land another player, if not multiple.
