3 Phillies players in danger of losing their jobs after Harrison Bader trade

After the Philadelphia Phillies got top closer Jhoan Duran from the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday, they went back to the well for a more moderate trade for Twins outfielder Harrison Bader.

The outfield has been a sore spot (again) for the Phillies this season. The combination of Nick Castellanos, Brandon Marsh, Max Kepler and Johan Rojas, as well as the other players who have contributed as outfielders this season, ranks 26th in the majors in OPS (.677), wRC+ (88) and 28th with 0.6 fWAR. Philadelphia's outfield also ranks 28th with -18 defensive runs saved (DRS) and 25th with -10 outs above average (OAA).
