A little earlier in the offseason, we took a look at four players who fans had probably already forgotten played for the Philadelphia Phillies during the 2024 MLB season. Despite their limited time with the club, they played a role in one way or another to help shape the Phillies last year, for better or for worse.
Here, we will take a look at four other players who managed to suit up for the Phillies in 2024, but that may have somehow already left your memory. For some, it actually led to some unexpected outcomes, whereas for others, they likely want to forget that they actually did play for the team.
As a result of their performances, a couple of these players will likely be getting a second chance. But for the other two, their tenure with the Phillies has already officially come to an end.
4 more Phillies players you’ve already forgotten played for the team in 2024
Connor Brogdon
As a former 10th-round selection by Philadelphia back in the 2017 MLB Draft, Connor Brogdon actually had a solid start to his MLB career with the club. After making his debut during the COVID-shortened year, Brogdon strung together four respectable seasons with the Phillies from 2020 to 2023.
Despite seeing some time in the minors along the way, he managed to post a solid 10-7 record with a 3.55 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 143 strikeouts in 142 innings pitched over 139 appearances during that time frame. More importantly, he was even, at one point in time, a postseason stud for the Phillies during the 2022 MLB playoffs.
However, how quickly things fell apart for the 29-year-old reliever. On a surprisingly short leash for the 2024 season, Brogdon was designated for assignment by the Phillies after just three poor outings to begin the year.
He was promptly traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers just days later and made one appearance with his new club in which he gave up two home runs in one inning of work. Little did he know that one inning would mean a lot more to him in the end. Brogdon landed on the injured list with plantar fasciitis and ended up spending the rest of the season in the Dodgers’ minor league system trying to come back from his injury.
He has now elected free agency after being outrighted by Los Angeles this past week. But for appearing in that one game for the Dodgers this past season, Brogdon gets the distinguished honor of being a World Series champion. Not bad for literally one day’s work.
