Phillies president Dave Dombrowski admits he's unsure if Bryce Harper, who turns 33 today, can return to being an elite player: "I guess we only find out if he becomes elite [again] or he continues to be good…Can he rise to the next level again? I don't really know that… pic.twitter.com/3Sq50fXjQJ

The Philadelphia Phillies season ended in disappointment and there could be huge changes on the way this offseason.

The Philadelphia Phillies' season came to an end after dropping the NLDS in four games to the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers, whose pitching staff limited the Phillies’ offense, especially superstar Bryce Harper, who finished the series with just three hits in 15 at-bats.

Dave Dombrowski raised eyebrows Thursday when asked whether two-time National League MVP Bryce Harper remains an elite player.

After making it to the World Series and losing to the Houston Astros in six games in 2022, the Phillies saw an NL Championship Series exit in 2023 and then consecutive Division Series exits. A move of this magnitude would signal desperation for Philadelphia, which is also likely losing free agent DH Kyle Schwarber this offseason.
