2025 Topps Now #546
I was really hoping Harrison Bader would find his way back to the Phillies in 2026, and while it's not yet official as I'm composing this post, the popular outfielder has opted to sign with the Giants.  Bader provided a much-needed offensive and defensive spark for the club, playing the game with a little bit of mustard, and endearing himself to Phillies fans for it.  In 50 games with the Phillies, he batted .305 with 11 doubles, five home runs and 16 RBIs.  Sadly, an injury limited his playing time during the NLDS, and he was 1 for 2 in the series, with just four plate appearances.  I'm excited to see what Adolis Garcia can do in 2026, but I also would have loved to see more of Bader in red pinstripes.
