ORLANDO, Fla. — The Phillies remodeled their outfield on the fly this summer as they traded for the expiring Harrison Bader to play center field and ran two platoons in the corners. No, it wasn’t perfect. But it was capable.
This offseason, they’ll have to do it all over again, assembling another outfield configuration. The internal candidates are less than a sure thing. Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski is preparing for a variety of options.
“We’ve got work to do,” Dombrowski said on Monday inside the Phillies’ suite at the Winter Meetings in Orlando, Fla.
