Bryce Harper Open to Outfield Return to Boost Phillies' Lineup

The Phillies star is willing to switch positions if it helps secure a power-hitting first baseman to strengthen the team’s World Series chances.

Bryce Harper has expressed his willingness to move back to the outfield if the Phillies acquire a top-tier first baseman with significant offensive power.
Harper, who transitioned to first base in 2023 after Tommy John surgery, stated his priority is helping the team win a championship.
The Phillies considered but did not pursue Pete Alonso, who re-signed with the Mets, and may explore other options like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in future free agency.
Harper remains a central figure for the Phillies as they aim to build on their recent playoff appearances and contend for a World Series title.
The 32-year-old two-time MVP emphasized his commitment to the Phillies and their fan base, calling a championship his ultimate goal.
