The Philadelphia Phillies have prided themselves on being top contenders since they signed the face of the franchise Bryce Harper. The former outfielder, now first baseman, was the sign of a new movement in Phillies baseball when they signed him in 2019 to a 13-year, $330 million deal.
He's given the organization some great years, but the Phillies and Harper find themselves in the back half of the contract. Even the best of stars eventually drop in production, which is where Harper finds himself now.
Harper just turned 33, and with a down year in 2025, questions are circulating about whether he can continue his production at a high level.
