The Philadelphia Phillies are in talks with the Los Angeles Angels regarding shortstop Zach Neto, whose.757 OPS this season could strengthen the Phillies' lineup. The team has struggled offensively since the All-Star break and is seeking upgrades before the trade deadline. Neto, 25, is under club control through 2029, presenting a long-term option if acquired. The Phillies may need to move incumbent shortstop Trea Turner to another position, likely outfield or second base, to accommodate Neto. The trade would likely require the Phillies to part with key prospects.
