Hot Stove Season hasn’t ended quite yet for the Phillies.

Or, perhaps it has — but not before the club made a surprise trade for left-handed reliever Gregory Soto on Saturday. Coupled with recent signee Craig Kimbrel, the Phillies now have several arms in the bullpen that make the group look awfully promising ahead of the 2023 season.

Tim Kelly and Nathan Ackerman break all that down on the latest Phillies Nation Podcast. They discuss every aspect of the Soto trade (including the players the Phillies sent to Detroit), Kimbrel’s role in the bullpen, the composition of the group overall, interesting roster questions now facing the team and more.
