Phillies Target Cardinals Relievers Amid Trade Talks
The Philadelphia Phillies, despite bullpen struggles and the suspension of reliever Jose Alvarado, are expected to be aggressive buyers at the trade deadline, targeting relief pitching. The Phillies have shown interest in St. Louis Cardinals relievers Ryan Helsley and Steven Matz, with Helsley considered the more impactful potential addition. The Cardinals, who have experienced a tumultuous season but remain competitive, are viewed as potential sellers and may look to trade veterans such as Matz or Erick Fedde. This could create opportunities for younger players from their farm system, similar to the recent strategy employed by the Detroit Tigers. Former Cardinals reliever John Brebbia is now a free agent following his release by the Tigers. The Cardinals' recent improved performance complicates their trade deadline approach, as they weigh selling assets against remaining in playoff contention.
