Phillies president doubts Bryce Harper’s return to elite form at 33 amid poor season and uncertain offseason.

Phillies president Dave Dombrowski expressed uncertainty about Bryce Harper’s ability to return to elite form at age 33, despite acknowledging him as a high-caliber player, following a down season with a .261 average and .844 OPS—the lowest of his Phillies tenure—and a weak NLDS performance. Harper, under a 13-year, $330 million contract, remains motivated to rebound, but his future, along with key players like Schwarber, Realmuto, and Suárez, hangs in the balance as the Phillies evaluate offseason moves without immediate roster changes.
