Phillies' aging roster concerns ahead of 2025 season

The Philadelphia Phillies finished the 2024 season with a record of 95-67, placing first in the NL East. Key departures include pitchers Carlos Estevez and Jeff Hoffman, while new additions feature Jordan Romano and Max Kepler. Entering the 2025 season, the Phillies face questions about their aging roster, with several key players over 30. General manager Dave Dombrowski remains committed to maintaining a competitive team despite potential changes if playoff disappointments continue. Top prospect Andrew Painter is returning from Tommy John surgery, with plans to limit his innings early in the season. RHP John McMillon, known for his fastball, could emerge as a valuable late-inning option.
