The World Series is well underway at this point, with the series having shifted to the West Coast for Games 3, 4 and 5. While it's still much too early to tell whether the Los Angeles Dodgers or Toronto Blue Jays will be the last team standing, there are some former Philadelphia Phillies players who are in line for an accessory upgrade when the 2025 season finally wraps up.
There are six former Phillies players who can still win a World Series ring this year. A couple of these players are active and currently playing in the Fall Classic, while the rest are already at home watching on TV like the rest of us.
Here are the names that will be familiar to Phillies fans who could win some World Series hardware within the next week.
6 ex-Phillies poised to win a World Series ring with Blue Jays or Dodgers
Buddy Kennedy (Dodgers, Blue Jays)
We all know about the legend of Buddy Kennedy, who will receive a World Series ring regardless of who wins this year. The Millville, NJ, native got his shot with the Phillies in 2024, and after a cameo this season was sent on his way.
The well-traveled 27-year-old was designated for assignment four times this season. He played in two games for the Blue Jays and seven for the Dodgers. He landed back in the Blue Jays' minor league system before the end of the season.
Luis Garcia (Dodgers)
Luis Garcia, who pitched with the Phillies from 2013 through 2018, played for three teams this season, including the Dodgers. The 38-year-old right-hander contributed a 5.27 ERA in 27 1/3 innings to the NL pennant winners' weak bullpen this year.
Garcia was released in early July. He signed with the Washington Nationals before being traded to the Los Angeles Angels at the deadline. He posted a 1.61 ERA in 28 innings between his two stops but finished the year on the 15-day IL.
Spencer Turnbull (Blue Jays)
Remember when Spencer Turnbull spun magic for the Phillies in 2024 as an emergency rotation fill-in? The right-hander was dominant as a starter, posting a 1.67 ERA in six starts before being moved to the bullpen. He still had a 2.65 ERA before he spent the second half on the IL.
The Blue Jays were hoping to capture some of that lightning in a bottle this season, but it didn't pan out. The 33-year-old signed in May but stumbled to a 7.11 ERA in three games (one start) before being DFA'd. Regardless of his stats, Turnbull will still get a World Series ring if the Blue Jays win it all this year.
Jeff Hoffman (Blue Jays)
One half of the duo of former Phillies in the Blue Jays bullpen, Jeff Hoffman is playing a key playoff role for the best team in the American League. After reviving his career in Philadelphia in 2023 and 2024, the fan favorite signed a three-year, $33 million deal with the Blue Jays in the offseason.
Despite a rocky regular season, Hoffman has come through in the playoffs. The Toronto closer has appeared in seven games this postseason, allowing just one earned run on three hits and three walks with 13 strikeouts. He sent the Blue Jays to the World Series with clutch performances in Games 6 and 7 of the ALCS.
Jeff Hoffman was drafted by the @BlueJays in 2014 and traded away in 2015.

Seranthony Domínguez (Blue Jays)
Once a peak playoff performer for the Phillies, Seranthony Domínguez has been solid for the Blue Jays since being acquired from Baltimore at the trade deadline. With a new splitter, the right-hander posted a 3.00 ERA in 21 innings down the stretch. In eight postseason games, Domínguez has a 3.38 ERA in eight innings, recording seven strikeouts and five walks.
Domínguez will head to free agency after the season and shouldn't have a problem finding a new team even though he's not the same guy who posted a 1.69 ERA as a key member of the Phillies' 2022 World Series bullpen.
Lou Trivino (Dodgers)
Yes, technically Lou Trivino is still currently a Phillie but will become a free agent after the final out of the World Series, so we'll include him. The right-hander can potentially win a ring after spending some time with the Dodgers this season.
After starting the 2025 season in San Francisco, Trivino landed in the Dodgers bullpen where he pitched to a 3.76 ERA in 26 1/3 innings before being DFA'd. The Phillies signed the 24-year-old in August and he spent the final month of the season in the majors. He posted a 2.00 ERA in nine innings down the stretch but was left off the NLDS roster.
