The outfield is very crowded, and with more outfield prospects like Mickey Moniak and Adam Haseley on the way, how seriously will the Phillies pursue Bryce Harper next offseason? Wouldn't Manny Machado make more sense? Do you foresee a major outfield trade for starting pitching?

These questions will be easier to answer at the end of the season. Sure, if Rhys Hoskins, Odubel Herrera, Aaron Altherr and Nick Williams each have productive seasons, perhaps the Phillies look elsewhere. But what are the odds everybody stays healthy and productive and looks like a better long-term solution than Harper, who is one of the most repected hitters in baseball?
