Should there continue to be outfield platoons?
The Phillies went about bolstering their lineup this trade deadline by acquiring Harrison Bader from the Twins. That led many to believe that the team had solved their outfield platoons by acquiring a starter and leading to the falling of these dominoes:
Bader starting in center field
Brandon Marsh starting in left field, or at least platooning with Otto Kemp
Max Kepler getting DFA’ed
Johan Rojas getting sent down to Lehigh Valley
