It could be a different kind of spring for the Phillies in a few months.

They disappointed in the postseason once again, the Bryce Harper-led core will be another year older, there's fear of a major departure with Kyle Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto, Ranger Suárez, and Harrison Bader all becoming free agents, and uncertainty about whether any of the top prospects like Justin Crawford or Aidan Miller will be major-league ready.

They're at a crossroads, and with only growing impatience from fans.

But February will mark the start of where the club goes next ahead of the next Opening Day on March 26.
