Advice: Merrifield had a resurgence with the Blue Jays last year. He hit .272 with 11 home runs and 26 stolen bases and even made the all-star game. Merrifield struggled mightily with the Phillies this year, failing to capitalize on stretches where the club was without Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber. Even after getting an $8 million contract it’s no surprise that the team is moving on already. Merrifield hit .199 with three home runs and 11 RBI in 53 games with Philadelphia.
Sucks for Whit. Dude finally gets on a legit contender, the current best team in baseball, and he's over the hill. That's a bummer.
And that's also a no, we should not bring him back. I'm sorry, that ship has sailed.

Pretty difficult for him to be much worse than Garcia or Adam Frazier but we already got dudes as good as him under contract.
