"Angels Bolster Bullpen with Key Signings in 2023 Offseason"
The Philadelphia Phillies had shown interest in signing Jordan Hicks before he joined the Giants, but the team viewed him as a reliever, while the Giants plan to use him as a starting pitcher. The Phillies are still looking to bolster their bullpen despite president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski's statement about making "more around the edges" additions. They face a challenge in acquiring more pitching depth due to their already set starting rotation. The team has made changes to keep their pitchers healthy, including hiring a new director of pitching and bolstering their research and development team with the addition of Ani Kilambi.
