Phillies eye trade options ahead of deadline for roster upgrades

As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the Philadelphia Phillies are expected to pursue roster enhancements. Under president Dave Dombrowski, the team has consistently made moves at past deadlines. This season, addressing their uneven offense is a priority, with a right-handed bat at the top of their wishlist. Additionally, the Phillies are seeking a reliable left-handed reliever and a starting pitcher. Potential trade targets include Aroldis Chapman for relief and Tarik Skubal for starting pitching, though acquiring these players may be challenging due to high demand and potential cost.
