Phillies Pursue Multiple Relievers Amid Injuries, Trade Talks
As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the Philadelphia Phillies have been linked to several bullpen and outfield targets to bolster their roster for a postseason push. Despite rumors surrounding former All-Star outfielder Luis Robert Jr., his recent hamstring injury and inconsistent performance make a trade for him unlikely. The Phillies have shown active interest in bullpen reinforcements, engaging in trade talks with the Pittsburgh Pirates for All-Star closer David Bednar, who could provide a reliable ninth-inning option following Jose Alvarado’s suspension. Additionally, the Phillies could pursue Royals closer Carlos Estévez as a potential bullpen upgrade, given his strong performance and familiarity with Philadelphia. Meanwhile, prospects like Justin Crawford are being considered for promotion due to their impressive minor league performance, though the Phillies’ front office remains cautious about the transition to the majors. Overall, the Phillies are balancing potential acquisitions and internal promotions to strengthen both their bullpen and lineup as they maintain a lead in the NL East.
