Phillies Target Buxton, Mullins, Castro in Trades

News summary

As the MLB trade deadline nears, the Philadelphia Phillies are aggressively pursuing roster upgrades to address offensive struggles, focusing on outfield and bullpen improvements. Analysts have suggested trading top prospects Andrew Painter and Justin Crawford to the Minnesota Twins for Byron Buxton, whose power and defense could fill a longstanding center field gap. Other potential targets include Cedric Mullins from the Orioles for speed and versatility, and Willi Castro from the Twins for infield depth, offering less dramatic but practical options. The Phillies are also linked to elite relievers Felix Bautista (Orioles) and Ryan Helsley (Cardinals) to bolster their bullpen. Speculation continues that underperforming or expensive players like Nick Castellanos could be moved if better options are acquired. These moves signal the Phillies' willingness to trade top prospects in a determined bid for postseason success.
