Final Look at 2015-2016 Phillies Player Moves

2016 Topps #115
2016 Topps #622
2016 Topps Pro Debut #42
2016 Topps Phillies #PP-17
Barring any roster moves in the next two weeks, which would be highly unlikely, I believe the listing below represents the final look at Phillies transactions made both prior to the start of the season and during the season.  This is quite a list, and I suspect the list of 2016-2017 Phillies transactions will be just as long if not longer.

I'll start compiling the 2016-2017 Moving On/New Additions list shortly after the final pitch is thrown on October 2nd.

This list was a lot shorter in the late 2000s . . .

I expect the 2016/2017 list will be another rogue's gallery.
