Philadelphia Phillies Might See Dodgers As Their Ideal Trade Partner.

Someone who could help the Philadelphia Phillies win a World Series could go unsigned.
Before the trade deadline for this Philadelphia Phillies team, President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski will have to make some important decisions.

As buyers, they might improve their roster by focusing on specific needs that might gain from having additional possibilities when the season is nearing its end.

However, there’s also a chance that things could go wrong with the team’s chemistry.

It’s always difficult to bring in guys from outside the clubhouse who haven’t experienced this culture, particularly if it means depriving a popular team member of playing time.

Determining this is the reason Dombrowski is paid so much.

Since all of the other teams are seeking for relievers they can employ in the postseason and during the long season, the Phillies will most likely be keeping an eye on bullpen aid.

For some time now, Kenley Jansen has been associated with Philadelphia, particularly when there was speculation that the Boston Red Sox could try to dump his salary in the offseason. Given that the Phillies lost Craig Kimbrel to free agency, they were thought to be a good fit.

As the July 30 deadline approaches, their curiosity may only grow because the future Hall of Famer is having another fantastic season, with a 2.74 ERA and 11 save opportunities out of 12 converted.

If the Red Sox decide to pursue a trade for the veteran, Jon Heyman of The New York Post believes he would rejoin the Los Angeles Dodgers in season.

Given that the Dodgers are anticipated to be the Phillies’ primary National League rival for the right to advance to the World Series, it would be a difficult one for them if this were to occur.

There are questions in Philadelphia’s backend as they would ideally like to use Jose Alvarado in a spot other than their closer, being able to call upon him whenever a high-leverage situation presents itself.

It was reported that they have interest in Tanner Scott, but with him already being highly sought-after, there’s a chance they aren’t able to land the star lefty.

In that case it would make sense to turn to Jansen, but based on Heyman’s prediction, they could see him pitching against them during the most important part of the season.
