The Philadelphia Phillies acquired Luis Arraez from the San Francisco Giants to take over the second base position. Which likely means Bryson Stott moves to third base & Alec Bohm's playing time or time with the Phillies may be coming to an end.

Does this move get the Phillies into true World Series contender mode and appease Bryce Harper & Zack Wheeler & other star veterans?
