The Philadelphia Phillies would seem pretty set in the infield for the 2026 MLB season: Bryce Harper, Bryson Stott, Trea Turner, Alec Bohm and Edmundo Sosa. But as Dave Dombrowski looks to change the roster this offseason, could we see changes. Maybe Alec Bohm gets dealt after being involved in trad rumors last offseason. Maybe Trea Turner makes that long-awaited move to the outfield. On the PHLY...

For the past few years, the outfield has been the weak spot for the Philadelphia Phillies. That finally changed at the end of 2025, but that was largely due to outgoing free agent Harrison Bader, acquired from Minnesota at the MLB trade deadline.
