The Philadelphia Phillies are coming off a season where they were able to get into the 2026 MLB playoffs.
That said, they lost to the Atlanta Braves in Game 3 of the Wild Card Series.
The final game was at Truist Park (on October 1) when they lost by a score of 6-2.
World Series Champ Becomes Free Agent
This past week, a member of the Phillies’ organization became a free agent.
Tucker Davidson will be available to sign with any team in the MLB.
MLB.com wrote (on November 2): “LHP Tucker Davidson elected free agency.”
Davidson did not appear in a game (at the MLB level) for the Phillies.
He pitched in 32 games at the Triple-A level.
Looking At Davidson
Davidson was picked in the 19th round of the 2016 MLB Draft.
He spent the first 2.5 seasons of his career with the Atlanta Braves.
In 2021, Davidson was with the franchise when they won the World Series title over the Houston Astros.
Following Atlanta, Davidson had stints with the Los Angeles Angels, Kansas City Royals and Baltimore Orioles over five seasons.
He will turn 31 in March.
2024 was his most recent season pitching at the MLB level (for the Orioles).
It will be interesting to see where Davidson lands ahead of the 2027 season.
He could provide pitching depth for another MLB team.
Looking At The Phillies Right Now
The Phillies last reached the World Series during the 2022 season.
They finished the 2026 season as the second-place team in the National League East with an 88-74 record in 162 games.
