Daily News | ‘We want to be great’ — Rob Thomson, Phillies brass aim no lower than World Series title
Eleven days after Nick Castellanos weakly flied out in foul ground and ended the most thrilling and unexpected postseason ride in Philadelphia history, the brain trust that brought the Phillies within two wins of its third World Series title sounded confident that playoff baseball is back to stay.
They believe that, with a rested Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola at the front of their rotation and with a potent lineup that might again have to produce without Harper for an extended period, the Phillies look at 2022 as a launching pad. That clearly means an upgrade at shortstop, where Thomson said he’d start Edmundo Sosa if the season began tomorrow. At any rate, Bryson Stott, who can play third, short, or second, seems like the franchise’s long-term second baseman at the moment.
