The 10 most interesting Phillies spring training storylines

by Evan Macy

A slow-paced offseason that had the season in doubt for much of it, will conclude with what is expected to be a full schedule of exhibitions, with a limited slate of opponents and travel.

Before the action begins, we've compiled the 10 most important storylines to watch for this March ahead of the 2021 MLB season.
