We know what we know.

It’s what we don’t that’s even more troubling.

This much isn’t hard to surmise around the Phillies as spring training begins: Bryce Harper is still upset at Dave Dombrowski for his end-of-season comments, calling them “wild” multiple times during Sunday’s media availability in Clearwater and again on an appearance with Bussin’ With the Boys.

What’s trickier to deduce, and of far more long-term importance? Harper’s trust level of the franchise, ownership, front office and direction of everything to do with the Phillies.

Anger dissipates. Frustration dies down. But broken trust often can’t be repaired.

And I keep thinking back to how Harper answered a few questions the other day and can’t help but wonder if he’s lost trust in the Phillies.
