The Philadelphia Phillies are seeking outfield help, especially after Adolis Garcia's injury. Jim Bowden of The Athletic identifies Byron Buxton of the Minnesota Twins as an ideal trade target for the Phillies, noting his.941 OPS. However, Buxton's no-trade clause presents a significant challenge; the Phillies would need both Buxton's consent and the Twins' approval for a trade. With limited options, the Phillies aim to bolster their roster for a potential World Series run.
