The Philadelphia Phillies focused on retaining their pitching rotation during the offseason, but this strategy raises questions about their overall roster depth. With the season now concluded, it's time to evaluate their decisions.

Aaron Nola signed a new contract that keeps him with the team until 2031, and his performance suggests he can be a solid No. 2 pitcher. Zack Wheeler also received a lucrative extension and had an outstanding season, potentially earning him Cy Young consideration.

However, not all moves were successful. Whit Merrifield struggled significantly, leading to an early departure, while Spencer Turnbull showed promise but faced injuries. Kolby Allard failed to impress during his time in the majors. Overall, while the Phillies secured their top pitchers, their offensive depth remains a concern.
