“Each year’s so different than the year before. I don’t really put stock into years before or what happened or anything else,” Harper said after being eliminated by the Braves. “This was a brand new team. Obviously, we had the guys that are part of that core group that we are.

“I’d imagine this team is going to look a lot different next year with the guys that are leaving this clubhouse. So, we’ll see.”

Since 2023, the Phillies have suffered NLDS exits in 2024 and 2025 before losing to the Braves in the wild-card round this week.

In 2026, Philadelphia finished with an 88-74 record and needed a Game 162 victory to secure its fifth consecutive postseason berth.

The Phillies had won at least 90 games in each of the prior three regular seasons.

Harper, a two-time MVP and nine-time All-Star, is signed with the team through 2031 and turns 34 in two weeks.

“You’re here to do business. You’re here to win games, and we didn’t do that,” Harper said after their 6-2 Game 3 loss in Atlanta.

Harper wasn’t fully on an island either.

Phillies starter Aaron Nola, who has been with the major-league club since 2015, also noted the team’s shortcomings, specifically honing in on everything not coming together at the right time this season.

“Obviously, we’d love to win a World Series with these guys. We’ve been together quite a while, and we’ve got a good clubhouse, and you know, good characters on this team,” Nola said. “We know what type of guys are in here. We know what type of players we have, and what we’re capable of.

“(We need to) kind of play good at the right time.”

Interim manager Don Mattingly also spoke about the team’s loss and what factored into it.

“You’d love to be able to set your pitching up and them be rested and all that kind of stuff,” said Mattingly, who exited his post as Phillies skipper on Friday. “But that’s not the way it went.

“We had to fight to get ourselves in, and to do what we had to do to get in, we had to do what we had to do basically every game in the series.”
