The Philadelphia Phillies are currently positioned as strong contenders in the NL East with a 47-32 record. President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski emphasized the need to bolster the bullpen ahead of the trade deadline, while also noting that the return of Bryce Harper will enhance their lineup. Dombrowski highlighted that although they have starting pitching depth and will utilize some starters in the bullpen for postseason, adding bullpen arms is crucial. He conveyed the urgency of seizing winning opportunities, even if that means making tough trade decisions.
"When [Bryce] Harper comes back, our lineup is in pretty good shape at that time. It's probably bullpen is our biggest focus."
"Winning opportunities only come around so often and should not be taken for granted, even if it means you may give up a little more than you would want to in other circumstances."
