It has not been a strong start to the second half of the season, and changes could be coming soon for the Philadelphia Phillies. With the trade deadline coming up, Philadelphia is certainly going to be an aggressive team at the deadline. “I brought my glove,” Harper said, “just in case they make a trade.” There haven’t been a ton of rumors regarding first basemen being available at the trade deadline, which certainly adds some intrigue to Harper bringing his glove. Those numbers are well down from the All-Star performance in the first half of the season, and Philadelphia needs more from him.
