Bryce Harper got to Clearwater, Florida, on Sunday. He spoke to reporters in the morning outside BayCare Ballpark.

He had a lot to say:

• He talked about Dombrowski’s comments in October, when he wondered if Harper would be elite again or not.
• He said while he doesn’t need any motivation, the fact Dombrowski said what he said publicly bothered him.
• He talked about how the Phillies’ cleanup hitters need to step up.
• He talked about participating in the WBC.
• He talked about the Phillies’ chances to compete and more.

Harper mentioned the Phillies’ cleanup hitters. Alec Bohm could be the guy this year. We discussed his importance to the 2026 season as well.
