The Philadelphia Phillies have already made a big splash this offseason by acquiring catcher J.T. Realmuto
Mark McGwire Jersey , outfielder Andrew McCutchen, shortstop Jean Segura and relief pitcher David Robertson.But that may be the tip of the iceberg.Jon Heyman of MLB Network reported on Wednesday that the Phils, who have been heavily rumored to land superstar free-agent outfielder Bryce Harper, could set their sights on two other All-Stars to round out the pitching staff:Jon Heyman JonHeymanPhillies total focus right now is on bryce harper. after harper signs (either with them or elsewhere), philly will consider dallas keuchel and/or craig kimbrel. one person thought keuchels more likely since the pen is solid with robertson is aboard, but it could be either guy.Dallas Keuchel, who won the 2015 American League Cy Young Award, went 12-11 with a 3.74 ERA for the Houston Astros last season.Craig Kimbrel

Only eight teams had higher marks.If Philadelphia can pull off this trifecta, then they should be shooting up the odds ledger. It's possible the Phils could even be National League favorites.Philadelphia already has a deep and promising starting pitching staff, with four of the five starters entering their age-27 season or younger.That quartet (Aaron Nola, Vince Velasquez, Nick Pivetta and Zach Eflin) all had FIP under 4.00 last season. Veteran Jake Arrieta was the exception, but he had a 3.96 ERA and the second-lowest WHIP among starters on the team.Adding Keuchel to the mix only makes the rotation better. A ground-ball pitcher

The Phils would then have in essence two relievers perfectly capable of closing, which makes the bullpen much stronger. Robertson amassed 137 saves and a lifetime 2.88 ERA.Philadelphia opens the 2018 season on March 28 at home versus the Atlanta Braves. LONDON (AP) — The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox treated fans to one of the most unusual first innings in their century-plus rivalry when they played Saturday night in the first Major League Baseball game in Europe.In the 2,200th regular-season meeting between the teams, New York scored six runs in the top of the first and Boston came back with six in the bottom half in an inning that lasted 58 minutes, 20 batters and 94 pitches.Boston's Rick Porcello got just one out in the shortest of his 324 career starts. New York's Masahiro Tanaka got two outs and failed to finish the first inning for the first time in 149 major league starts. It was the first time in the rivalry that both teams scored six or more runs in the first and the first big league game involving any teams in which that occurred since visiting Toronto led Oakland 7-6 on June 23
Paul DeJong Jersey , 1989.The last time neither pitcher recorded three outs was Sept. 21, 1989, when San Diego's Dennis Rasmussen and Cincinnati's Jack Armstrong both allowed five runs and got no outs.Luke Voit and Edwin Encarnación hit RBI doubles around Didi Gregorius' two-run double, and Aaron Hicks drove a changeup from Rick Porcello 386 feet over the Boston bullpen in right field for a two-run homer on Porcello's 33rd and final pitch.Rafael Devers and Brock Holt had RBI singles in the bottom half around Christian Vazquez's sacrifice fly, and Michael Chavis chased Tanaka with a three-run homer.
