This offseason, the Philadelphia Phillies hope to make a big impression on the free agent market. Should the Phillies experience an anticipated decline, the class of free agents they have access to is strong enough to raise the water level much above the surface. Nevertheless, Philadelphia can make a move for a first-time All-Star who would provide them with a reliable and potent bat to help them in their World Series quest.

Profar could be the Phillies’ top target for a left field upgrade.

On the surface, the Curacao native proved himself to be a competent home run hitter with 24 bombs during the previous season, scoring 94 runs and driving in 85 RBIs. From a discipline perspective, his peripherals and analytics would therefore provide the Phillies with a flexible slugger who can accomplish tasks for them and generate uncertainty at the plate.
Profar would be a fantastic upgrade for the Phillies to consider at the plate and in the outfield if Marsh is traded.
