As the MLB trade deadline approaches, multiple teams are strategizing to address their roster needs. The Philadelphia Phillies prioritize adding bullpen depth to avoid past playoff pitfalls. The Chicago White Sox have designated catcher Martin Maldonado for assignment and signed Nick Senzel to bolster their third base position amid a challenging season. The Miami Marlins consider trading key players like Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Tanner Scott to rebuild, potentially drawing interest from teams such as the Yankees and Phillies.
