Phillies consider trading Justin Crawford for Mike Trout this summer

Summary

The Philadelphia Phillies may trade Justin Crawford along with top prospects for Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout. After a rough start to the season, the Phillies showed improvement but decided to fire manager Rob Thomson, appointing Don Mattingly as interim manager. With the trade deadline approaching, speculation grows regarding Philadelphia's potential moves to bolster their lineup, especially for acquiring Trout, who is under a massive $426 million contract.
