Phillies, Orioles, and Mets prepare for MLB trade deadline decisions

As the July 3 MLB trade deadline approaches, teams like the Philadelphia Phillies, Baltimore Orioles, and New York Mets are evaluating their strategies. The Phillies are pursuing players to bolster their playoff ambitions after a strong 40-20 stretch under interim manager Don Mattingly. The Orioles, currently under.500, may shift from buyers to sellers while the Mets are expected to offload players amid a disappointing season. Potential targets include bullpen help and outfield options as each team assesses their needs heading into the final month before the deadline.
