Long story short, there is a shortage of plug-and-play relievers who might be worth a little gratuitous spending. They will come at a cost that the Phillies will need to think long and hard about.

With the deadline on July 31, here are the front offices that could make or break their future this trade season.

The Philadelphia Phillies would like to find a solution to their center field ineptitude at the upcoming trade deadline.

Jacob Mountz of Athlon Sports recently highlighted the Phillies’ outfield struggles and a possible solution: “The Philadelphia Phillies' outfield has been an overwhelming problem this season; and it is one that could severely hinder the team in the postseason."

The Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly “lurking” as potential suitors for Miami Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara ahead of the MLB trade deadline, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale.

The latest MLB rumors include a White Sox trade chip, a looming Philadelphia Phillies retirement, and the top landing spot for Marlins ace Sandy Alcántara.

This trade proposal between the Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies makes too much sense before the MLB trade deadline.
