Final Look at 2015-2016 Phillies Player Moves

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.
