According to Jim Bowden of The Athletic, the Phillies “could chase center fielders like Luis Robert Jr. of the White Sox and Cedric Mullins of the Orioles.” Alternatively, they could target a corner outfielder such as Boston’s Jarren Duran or the Rangers’ Adolis García.

Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner have been productive at the top of the order. J.T. Realmuto has been solid lately in the middle-to-bottom of the order, but the rest of the offense has lacked consistency - and in some ways has been consistently poor.
