Phillies president Dave Dombrowski questions if Bryce Harper can return to his elite form. Harper’s recent performance has been below his usual standards, with his lowest OPS since 2016. Despite this, Dombrowski acknowledges Harper remains an All-Star caliber player. Phillies manager Rob Thomson believes Harper is motivated to have his best season next year. The Phillies face decisions on key free agents, including Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto. Dombrowski emphasizes the need to maintain perspective despite recent postseason losses. The team aims to improve without drastically changing the roster.
