What the Phillies are planning to do with first baseman Bryce Harper after acquiring Luis Arraez in trade with GiantsBryce Harper said the Philadelphia Phillies “need some help,” and Dave Dombrowski is answering his pleas. The accomplished president of baseball operations is ablaze on MLB trade deadline day, acquiring second baseman Luis Arraez from the San Francisco Giants and striking a deal with the New York Mets for left-handed relief pitcher Brooks Raley. Harper is now expected to move from first base back into the outfield, per USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale. Harper understands what Arraez can bring to the top of the batting order, which is why he is reportedly open to another position change. Bryce Harper is fully committed to helping the Phillies (59-53) reach the World Series.
