The Philadelphia Phillies are ranked as one of the top teams in baseball in the initial power rankings for 2024.
Both the players and the fans were disappointed with how the Philadelphia Phillies’ 2023 season came to an end. Returning to the World Series seemed quite possible after the team’s 2022 World Series loss and their 2023 NLDS victory against the Atlanta Braves.
The Arizona Diamondbacks had defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, and despite leading the Diamondbacks 2-0 in the National League Championship Series, the Dodgers lost the series.
The Phillies had everything they could have possibly wanted right there. The Dodgers lost, and they defeated the Braves. There was nothing more that could have occurred to put them in a more advantageous situation.
Arizona’s outstanding performance in crunch time allowed them to win the series. Even though it’s disappointing, Philadelphia can’t let that stop them this year. They need to move past it and concentrate on what they can manage.
Any given night, this World Series roster has the ability to defeat any baseball team.
The Phillies, a club filled with superstars, have been ranked as the best team in Major League Baseball by MLB.com’s most recent initial power rankings for 2024. Philadelphia is ranked No. 5 in baseball by Will Leitch before the season.
Although Leitch laments the season’s dismal conclusion, he also admits that they have taken the necessary steps this offseason to retain the same core.
He adds that they’re “lurking” on major free agents and that a bullpen arm or two might be on the way. It might be in their best interest to add one or two more arms if they want to stay the team they have been the last few seasons.
