The Philadelphia Phillies may have done their last splash of the MLB offseason. Signing Adolis Garcia to complete their outfield look for the 2026 campaign, the Phillies are now establishing a firm posture on the rest of free agency and the trade market.

In the span of just weeks, the Phillies secured both Kyle Schwarber and Adolis Garcia further bolstering their outfield for the 2026 MLB season. While Nick Castellanos’ future remains up in the air, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski made something clear about the team’s stance on any further signings or trades for more outfielders.

According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, Dombrowski stated the Phillies’ outfield is ā€œpretty much setā€ after Adolis Garcia signing.

As the Phillies are still weighing their options on Nick Castellanos — entering final season of his five-year, $100 million deal — they made sure not to let the chance to acquire Adolis Garcia slip through their fingers. Now, Philadelphia has agreed to a one-year, $10 million contract with the 32-year-old right fielder.
