Next year's outfield solution could already be staring Phillies in the face

File this one in the "too soon to tell" column, but the Philadelphia Phillies seem like they may already have maneuvered themselves into good shape in the outfield for 2026. There are several factors at play here before we can declare mission accomplished, but a few developments over the course of the year have brought us to this point as we assess the near-term future of the team's outfield.

Assuming that Max Kepler will not return after his one-year contract runs its course and no other internal options emerge, the Phillies still find themselves with several viable paths forward in the outfield for 2026 that they can mix and match to form a seemingly solid group.
