Dave Dombrowski's offseason wish list: Teruaki Sato?

Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski attended the GM Meetings this week in Las Vegas. Dombrowski on Tuesday met with reporters, speaking for the first time since he announced in mid-October that Don Mattingly would return as manager and Trea Turner would need to play well to keep his job at shortstop.

Dombrowski discussed:

- The Phillies’ top offseason priorities, including a legitimate outfielder. Jim heard credible buzz on Wednesday that the Phils are purshing for Japanese slugger Teruaki Sato.
- How Aidan Miller has an inside track to make the 2027 Opening Day roster.
- How much money they might have to spend.
- The backup plan at shortstop, if Turner doesn’t play well.
- The backup plan at catcher, now that Garrett Stubbs is a free agent.
- Why Dombrowski likes his bullpen more than most people.
