Thursday, July 25 at 7:45 p.m. ET: Phillies not listening to offers involving top prospects Andrew Painter and Aidan Miller
The Phillies could look to be aggressive in their pursuit of another reliever, but they probably won’t trade either of their two top prospects. Russell Dorsey of Yahoo Sports reported on the night of July 25 that the Phillies are “not currently listening to offers that involve surrendering top prospects Andrew Painter or Aidan Miller.” Dorsey, however, is also hearing that rival clubs believe the Phillies are “willing to include other prospects, such as outfielder Justin Crawford or right-hander Mick Abel.”
A day later, the Phillies acquired Austin Hays in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles for Seranthony Domínguez and Cristian Pache. The focus now turns to acquiring a reliever, though that could change slightly as Ranger Suárez was placed on the 15-day injured list with lower back soreness.
