Rotoworld Player News

Yoniel Curet

PHI Starting Pitcher #58

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Phillies acquired RHP Yoniel Curet from the Rays for RHP Tommy McCollum.

Curet, who just turned 23 in November, was a rather surprising choice to get DFA’d when the Rays needed to open up a spot on the 40-man last week. He missed time in 2025 and finished with a 3.90 ERA and a 62/31 K/BB over 55 1/3 innings in his 14 starts and two relief appearances between Double- and Triple-A. He doesn’t have a truly plus second pitch yet, but his sinker averages 96 mph and there’s some potential with both his slider and changeup. He’ll likely open up next season in the Phillies’ Triple-A rotation.
Tommy McCollum

TB Relief Pitcher

Rays acquired RHP Tommy McCollum from the Phillies for RHP Yoniel Curet.

The deal got done after McCollum went unpicked in the Rule 5 draft. The 26-year-old reliever had a 3.07 ERA and a 59/16 K/BB in 55 2/3 innings at three levels last season. He’s a fringe bullpen candidate, but he’s not on the 40-man and he’ll have all of his option years if he’s added, making him nice to have around.
Zach McCambley

PHI Starting Pitcher #91

Phillies selected RHP Zack McCambley from the Marlins with the 12th selection in the Rule 5 draft.

McCambley, 26, had a 2.90 ERA and an 83/22 K/BB in 62 innings out of the pen between Double- and Triple-A last season. He throws in the mid-90s, but he uses his cutter more than his fastball and also attacks hitters with a slider. It’s package that could make him adequate in middle relief.
Kyle Schwarber

PHI Designated Hitter #12

Phillies re-signed DH Kyle Schwarber to a five-year, $150 million contract.

The deal is now official. Schwarber returns to Philadelphia following a transcendent campaign where he batted .240/.365/.563 with a career-high 56 round-trippers, 132 RBI and 10 steals over 162 games, finishing second in NL MVP balloting. Fantasy managers can safely project the 32-year-old run-producing wrecking ball to finish in the 40-homer neighborhood as one of the premier four-category contributors in the entire landscape. He’ll be a late-second or early-third round selection in all fantasy drafts next spring.
Rob Thomson

PHI Manager

Phillies extended the contract of manager Rob Thomson through 2027.

Quite the morning for the Phillies, who have also reportedly agreed to a five-year deal with slugger Kyle Schwarber. Thomson has thrived since taking over for Joe Girardi during the 2022 season, posting a 346-251 (.580) record. The Phillies have won back-to-back NL East championships, but that regular season excellence hasn’t gotten them back to the World Series. With this new contract, Thomson will try to finish the job.
Kyle Schwarber

FA Left Fielder #12

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the Phillies are re-signing Kyle Schwarber to a five-year, $150 million contract.

Schwarber received plenty of interest on the open market, but he ultimately will return to Philadelphia, where he was the NL MVP runner-up in 2025 after hitting .240/.365/.563 with 56 home runs and an NL-leading 132 RBIs. There was some thought that his being 33 years old and only a designated hitter would hurt his value on the market, but that was clearly not the case, as he’ll get $30 million a season until he’s 38 years old. This is great news for the Phillies, and fantasy managers know what to expect from Schwarber in a Phillies uniform. Passan indicates that his signing could also “accelerate” the free agent market.
Kyle Schwarber

FA Left Fielder #12

MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reports executives believe Kyle Schwarber could sign before the Winter Meetings conclude.

Feinsand adds that executives believe Schwarber may be the first major free-agent domino to fall, with a reunion in Philadelphia viewed as a legitimate possibility. The Mets, Red Sox, Reds and Pirates are also among the clubs showing strong interest in the 32-year-old slugger, who led the National League with 56 homers and 132 RBI last season. His decision looms large: once Schwarber chooses his landing spot, several teams will finally be able to pivot and execute the secondary moves they’ve been waiting on.
Zack Wheeler

PHI Starting Pitcher #45

Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said at the Winter Meetings that Zack Wheeler (shoulder) resumed playing catch last week.

Wheeler underwent surgery in late September to address venous thoracic outlet syndrome following an operation in mid-August to remove a blood clot near his right shoulder. The 35-year-old fantasy ace is unlikely to be ready for Opening Day based on the club’s initial recovery timeline of 6-8 months. There should be a clearer estimate for his season debut once he ramps up his throwing program in spring training.
Kyle Schwarber

FA Left Fielder #12

According to Buster Olney and Jeff Passan of ESPN, free agent slugger Kyle Schwarber is ultimately expected to land at least a five-year contract this winter.

At least that’s the belief around the league according to Olney and Passan. The Phillies, Reds and Giants have been among the teams already linked to the 32-year-old slugger. It’s possible that his market could come into focus in the next few days during the winter meetings. Regardless of where he lands, Schwarber will continue to be a force for fantasy purposes during the 2026 season.
Cody Bellinger

FA Center Fielder #35

The New York Post’s Jon Heyman reports the Yankees are making a big effort to re-sign Cody Bellinger.

Heyman adds that Bellinger remains New York’s top offseason priority, though the two sides aren’t close to a deal at this stage. He also lists the Mets, Phillies, Dodgers and Angels as other potential landing spots. The 30-year-old delivered an excellent first season in the Bronx, slashing .272/.334/.480 with 29 homers — his highest total since 2019 — to go along with 98 RBI and 13 steals across 152 games. His return would significantly improve the Yankees’ outfield defense and give them a proven left-handed, middle-of-the-order anchor to pair with Aaron Judge.
