With the MLB trade deadline just days away, Bryce Harper is confident that Dave Dombrowski will make significant moves.
The trade deadline holds a special place on the MLB calendar. With the All-Star break behind them, teams are gearing up for the critical stretch before fall. The Philadelphia Phillies aim to seize the moment on July 30 and make a significant impact.
The Phillies have already made moves, acquiring outfielder Austin Hays from the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. This year’s competition is expected to be tougher, with half of the teams in each league within 5.0 games of a postseason spot. As a result, more teams are looking to make bold moves, influenced by the expanded playoffs and the resulting shift in roster strategies.
The Phillies are undoubtedly buyers, fully aware of their needs. The key question is their level of aggressiveness. Will they opt for a cautious approach, adding a few low-cost players, or will Dombrowski make a bold statement and pursue top-tier talent?
Bryce Harper confident Phillies will get the job done at this year’s trade deadline
Bryce Harper has a special bond with the Phillies and their front office. Since joining the team in 2019, he has built a strong relationship with president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski and owner John Middleton. Harper trusts the front office, and it’s easy to see why—they’ve consistently worked to build a winning team around him.
Harper often tries to manifest outcomes, particularly regarding potential new players for the roster. He has confidence in Dombrowski’s ability to make things happen. As Harper told The Athletic’s Matt Gelb, “Dave’s going to get the job done if he wants to.”
Harper frequently praises Middleton and Dombrowski for their efforts and dedication to winning, confident that they are committed to bringing multiple championships to Philadelphia.
As the July 30 trade deadline approaches, Phillies fans eagerly await any news, hoping that the moves made will elevate the team from contenders to champions.
