It will be a long offseason for the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies had another disappointing end to their season, losing to the New York Mets in four games in the NLDS. It’s the second consecutive postseason where Philadelphia’s bats went ice cold. The Phillies’ bullpen also imploded during the series despite being one of the best in the league during the regular season.

With many of the Phillies’ core still under contract for 2025, where can the Phillies upgrade? Here are ten ways the Phillies can improve and finally win a World Series for the first time since 2008.
