Our budget was increased by 24% for the 2016 season, probably due to the 82 wins accumulated.

Tentatively, the pitching will look like this:
SP Cole Hamels
SP Cliff Lee
SP Aaron Nola
SP Jaime Garcia
SP Jason Hursh
LR Matt Barnes
MR Justin DeFratus
MR Jake Diekman
MR Griffin Murphy
SU Jonathan Papelbon
SU Phillipe Aumont
CL Ken Giles

...Cliff retires, with Chase and Izturis following suit. We'll never forget their contributions as Phillies but it's one way to ease into the rebuild.

Other notable retirees
Shane Victorino, Mark Buehrle, David Ortiz, David DeJesus, Bartolo Colon, Tim Hudson, Marlon Byrd, Kyle Lohse.

On to free agency! The objectives are to trade veterans in tow & try to find MLB-ready starting pitching and outfielders through trades or on the open market.
