ATLANTA — A few hours before the Phillies played Monday night at Truist Park, Dave Dombrowski went up to infielder Johan Camargo and congratulated him on being presented with a 2021 World Series ring by the Atlanta Braves.
“You need to win a second one this year,” Dombrowski said, a smile plastered across his face.
It was only small talk, a front-office executive chatting it up with one of his players. But after one-quarter of the season, it’s hard to like Camargo’s chances. The Phillies win a few games, lose a few more. They hover around .500, never getting on a roll.
