What we know about the Phillies as Trade Deadline approaches

Philadelphia: The MLB Trade deadline is 6PM on August 2 and there are those teams who are still in contention for a playoff spot and are looking to add that piece that would bump them to the next step.

The Philadelphia Phillies are one of those teams who are in contention for a playoff spot and looking to add a couple pieces to show that 2022 is the year that they end their playoff drought.

The Phillies need another starter but not looking to move top prospects

But I've also heard from multiple teams that the #Phillies haven't just said no on their 2 top-100 pitching prospects, Painter & Abel, but also on Griff McGarry, Ben Brown & Logan O'Hoppe

Hard to see how they can trade for a Game 3/4 type starter without including one of those 3

Could there be outfield help as an option at the deadline? The Phillies have major issues in the outfield, especially in centerfield

The Phillies were one of the teams who reached out to the Rays about Brett Phillips after he was DFA’d today, per source. Adding a defensive CF is one of their needs.

The Phillies are in the mix for Noah Syndergaard

Noah Syndergaard trade becoming more likely, sources say; Blue Jays, Phillies and Braves involved in talks over past 48 hours. Atlanta's deal for Jake Odorizzi, per @MarkBermanFox26, could impact that. Credit to @_bkuh_ for reporting Toronto's involvement. @MLBNetwork @Sportsnet

Now the question is, will Phillies President of Baseball Operations David Dombrowsk do the right thing to get the Phillies the help that they need to get to the finish line and make the playoffs for the first time since 2011?
