The next steps of the Philadelphia Phillies have oftentimes been rough, as of late.
Kyle Schwarber just finished a fantastic season with 56 home runs, almost tying Ryan Howard’s previous record. Zack Wheeler undergone surgery for his arm. Bryce Harper proved he was not an elite batter, according to Dave Dombrowski.
The trade speculation has been hot for Harper, in particular. He told the Athletic Saturday, of the betrayal.
The Phillies have up-and-coming prospect Justin Crawford approaching and it would not hurt for them to seek lee way for the son of former All-Star, Carl Crawford.
Not only that, the Phils could sign Kazuma Okamoto who recently became posted by Japan and hosts a real good chance at being one of the best to come out of the 2023 World Baseball Classic.
I would not expect the Los Angeles Dodgers to sign him. If they do, it is a swing-and-miss.
Andrew Painter is also being promoted next year and it would not hurt for the Phillies to take a step back and realize the potential of this team with younger talent.
Bryce Harper’s time is coming to an end.
He has long been a solo mark in the history of Major League Baseball since one of the most historic athletes to land.on the cover of Sports Illustrated. J.T. Realmuto, Bryson Stott, Trea Turner, Nick Castellanos, and Schwarber all supported the move of Harper but that ship has sank since 2022.
The Phillies want to get ahead of themselves before they live in the past and Dombrowski was right.
This is a business decision, not a priceless one. Dombrowski worked with some of the best and he does not want to rip his reputation or Philadelphia. Harper must admit, he has to play better next season, if he truly loves the city of Brotherly Love.
