Once I started summarizing the player moves over the first week of the offseason, I realized I needed to break everything into two posts given the flurry of activity on Monday, November 4th. (Part 1 of these Early November Notes can be found here.)
Devin Sweet (rhp) was acquired from the Detroit Tigers for cash considerations and added to the 40-man roster. Sweet has pitched in seven big-league games, all in 2023, with the Mariners and Athletics.
John McMillon (rhp) was claimed off waivers from the Miami Marlins. He's appeared in 14 games with the Royals and Marlins over the past two seasons, and was the winning pitcher in the Marlins game against the Phillies on September 7th.
Alan Rangel (rhp) who appeared in 10 games for the IronPigs in 2024, and who had pitched in seven seasons in the Braves' minor league system, was added to the 40-man roster.
Clearing space on the 40-man roster, the Phillies outrighted Yunior Marte (rhp), Luis F. Ortiz (rhp), Freddy Tarnok (rhp), Kolby Allard (lhp) and Rodolfo Castro (inf), with all clearing waivers and becoming free agents. Marte relieved in 63 games for the Phillies over the past two seasons, and was 1-1 with a 5.79 ERA in 65 1/3 innings pitched. Ortiz appeared in 15 games for the Phillies, with just one game this past season, and had a 4.12 ERA in 19 2/3 innings pitched. He spent the bulk of 2024 on the injured list.
Tarnok never pitched for the Phillies. Allard was a somewhat reliable emergency fifth starter for the club, going 2-0 with a 5.00 ERA, finding his most success in two starts in August. Added to the NLDS roster, he didn't appear in any of the four games. Like Ortiz, Castro was injured for a lot of 2024, and never got the call back to the majors. In 14 games with the Phillies in 2023, he batted .100 (3 for 30). Marte, Ortiz and Castro have their only Phillies cardboard appearances in the somewhat rare 2024 team-issued photo cards, shown below.
