Phillies' front office has been finding value this offseason, getting strong production relative to contract commitments. Across 6 contracts, 1 grade out as good value and 1 look like overpays based on comparable deals around the league. The best bang-for-the-buck deal was Jesus Luzardo (C) at $11.0M/yr — getting lhp production well above the price point. The priciest commitment relative to production was J.T. Realmuto (F) at $15.0M/yr — the catcher market may have been richer than the on-field return suggests. This front office is maximizing its payroll dollars and building sustainable depth.
