What Should the Phillies Do with Whit Merrifield?
Whit Merrifield signed a one year $8M deal with the Phillies late this off-season despite reportedly looking for a two year deal. Bryce Harper was a key recruiter in bringing him to sign in Philadelphia. It’s clear Harper’s word held a lot of water in both Philadelphia and Merrifield’s camp. Merrifield was signed to play the super utility role while providing some much needed contact from the right side of the plate. Merrifield can play all three outfield positions, second base, third base, and even has appeared at first base three times all while boasting a career .281 batting average.
