PHILADELPHIA — Harrison Bader has been here before. As in traded at the deadline, something he experienced in 2022 and 2023. But also in Philadelphia for a pennant race and an October series. Only problem was he was wearing Mets colors last fall.

The Phillies have a lot to assess, including whether it’s time to bring up prized prospect Justin Crawford and Max Kepler’s future on the roster.

There are legitimate questions about how the Phillies will construct their outfield in the immediate and further down the road.
