The Phillies made a plethora of roster moves in 2016; here we’ll take a look at the top trades, signings, and other transactions made this season.

Go ahead and try reading the list of transactions on the Phillies website. Go for it, see how long it takes before your Amazon wish list has a glass set and a bottle of bleach. Most transactions on that list are middling, minor moves that have little influence on the team overall.

However, some of those moves influenced or will influence the Phillies for at least the next year, if not more. General manager Matt Klentak and team president Andy MacPhail both made their mark in their first full season at the helm.

Let’s take a look at the top moves the Phillies made in 2016 as we wrap up this crazy, crazy year.
