Marlins All-Star slugger seen as possible blockbuster trade option for Phillies.

The Philadelphia Phillies may be adding a potent bat to their lineup as they attempt to maintain their supremacy in the National League.

In the Luis Robert Jr. sweepstakes, Philadelphia was once predicted to be a top buyer, but that likelihood is dwindling.

But now the Phillies have a blockbuster trade target in another NL outfielder. Philadelphia would benefit greatly from the addition of Miami Marlins Jazz Chisholm Jr., according to Jim Bowden of The Athletic on Wednesday.

“Chisholm is the position player most likely to be traded between now and July 30,” Bowden said. “Chisholm, 26, is starting his prime years and has a special combination of speed and power that many evaluators think will result in him someday joining the 30-home run/30-stolen base club. This year, he’s reached base at a .330 clip with 10 homers and 14 steals. He has a 113 OPS+. Some teams are interested in him as a center fielder and others view him as a middle infielder, where he played before a position switch last year. Either way, it sounds like he’ll be traded if Miami gets the right offer over the next five weeks. He would fit nicely with the Phillies or Giants.”

Chisholm would satisfy a defensive need in Philadelphia while simultaneously turning the Phillies’ already robust lineup into perhaps the most potent in Major League Baseball.
