The feud between him and DD is a problem and one of them will not be back after this year. This move should piss people off because this should have been done a while ago and picked up a RH bat to put on 1B. So why now? It’s a panic move and DD is on his last breath you can see it right here. This deadline move will not help this team and he’s a good as gone after this. He should be, he needs to beThis all goes back to 2025 when Harper wanted Pete Alonso. You would’ve solved so many problems that you had if you signed Pete Alonso and just move Bryce back to right field then. And the Phillies just refused to do it. So instead today they had to give up a top four prospect for a guy who’s gonna be gone in two months and move Alec Bohm over the first to do all this.

Now you’re in a playoff race moving pieces around. I don’t know how I feel about it.I should add a playoff race with not much room for error. And you’re tinkering with your defense. I mean, I’m a Phillies fan so obviously I hope it works out.

I mean, I’m a Phillies fan so obviously I hope it works out. The defense stinks anyways, so it’s gonna be a problem regardless. The bigger issue to me is that you wasted opportunities not moving Harper to the outfield multiple years ago. You know how many first basemen they could have signed along the way that would’ve dramatically changed this lineup and the fortune that they had especially against the Dodgers last year (this years lineup) if they would’ve just made the decision then? not that in order to allow yourself to do it right now you have to have a shittier first baseman in Alec Bohm and give up a top four prospect to do it. Meanwhile signing a Christian Walker, Alonso and etc would’ve cost you nothing but middleton’s money. Heck would’ve saved money on declination projects like Merrifield, Garcia along with bohm’s 10.4 mil
August 3Aug 3 34 minutes ago, e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! said:another thing that also should pisses you off, is there gonna move Harper back to the outfield. How many times did I say move Harper back to the outfield and go get yourself a first baseman that can hit for a decent average and give you power in the middle of that lineup? And they refuse to do it cause they didn’t wanna move him to the outfield because he would deteriorate too fast. Now they’re doing it for a guy that doesn’t give you that and you had to give up one of your better prospects.Really don't want Harper back in the OF. He's getting too fragile and its too much wear on his body compared to first base. I'd honestly rather they move Turner out there... not that he'd be great but he sucks defensively as is and he has better speed than Harper.
August 3Aug 3 Moving Harper to the outfield to accomadate Bohm playing first base would be an all time idiotic move.

They are both right handed bat with power. Which is exactly what they need behind Harper. And they also still could’ve gotten arraez with the money they saved not signing Garcia and Bohm being gone.
August 3Aug 3 I thought the move would be move turner to the outfield since he can't field a simple ground ball jesus christ this organization is so fn stupid

August 3Aug 3 They've been so bad after the All Star break that a jolt to the system seems in order. Worth a shot.
