Johan Rojas
Johan Rojas' future with the Phillies has been one of the most scrutinized topics since he made his debut last season. The talented center fielder has the tendency to make jaw-dropping plays that make national highlight reels and then perform so poorly at the plate that it's easy to wonder if he'll ever hit enough to be a full-time major league player.
That's one thing Rojas and fellow outfielder Brandon Marsh both have in common. The circumstances are different, but with Marsh's inability to hit against left-handed pitching, the lineup becomes noticeably weaker when light-hitting Rojas and fourth outfielder Cristian Pache have been penciled in together. Rojas was also recently sent down to Triple-A when Trea Turner returned from the IL.
The Phillies have tried a number of different players in this role all season, starting with Whit Merrifield, then David Dahl, and now Weston Wilson. Considering all of this tinkering, and Rojas' name being mentioned as a possible trade piece (subscription required) by The Athletic's Jim Bowden in a deal for Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena, it looks like Johan Rojas could lose his role as an everyday player, or possibly be part of a package in a deal along with other young players at the trade deadline.
