LOS ANGELES — Pretty much every seat except those in the far reaches of the upper deck were filled. In the lower bowl, almost everyone stood. The first pitch from the mound was cheered.

Last year’s trade deadline should haunt Dave Dombrowski. Is it possible to remake a bullpen at the trade deadline? Look at what the San Diego Padres did last July. Imagine the Phillies doing the same thing this July.
