The Philadelphia Phillies may look to trade Bryce Harper and Trea Turner following their fifth consecutive postseason exit, as the team reflects on its disappointing season. Insider Bob Nightengale suggests that the Phillies, reeling from their Wild Card Series loss to the Atlanta Braves, are contemplating significant roster changes.
