With 2025 trade deadline acquisition Harrison Bader now a free agent, the Philadelphia Phillies are left to search the market for outfield help if they can't strike a reunion.
Bader will have his price tag and will be looking for top dollar to maximize his value. He finished 2025 on a career year with a .277 batting average and a .796 OPS. The Phillies would love to bring him back into the fold for 2026, but it won't be easy.
The free agent outfield options this winter are thin, so the Phillies could have other names in mind to widen their range to upgrade their outfield.
