The Philadelphia Phillies have had a pretty quiet offseason aside from signing Aaron Nola, but they did make some news on Tuesday. The Phillies are bringing back former utilityman Phil Gosselin in a front office role.
A pair of familiar faces will once again be part of the Phillies organization in 2024 as members of the player development staff, the club announced Monday.

From left field to infield and every spot in between, Phil “the Goose” Gosselin made his mark as a strong and consistent utility player during the 2021 season.
