Phillies and Blue Jays could make easy $150M trade to solve two issues originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
We all know that the Philadelphia Phillies are looking to add a right-handed-hitting outfielder at Major League Baseball's trade deadline.
The only question is who the Phillies will pursue, as there aren't exactly a ton of perfect names available for them to consider. Among the options, one recently floated name would be very interesting to look at. It was none other than Toronto Blue Jays outfielder and World Series champion George Springer.
“Springer has pedigree — he's won World Series MVP, has four All-Star nods and three Silver Sluggers,” Evan Macy wrote.
“He's also about to come off the books from the struggling defending AL champs. But he's having his worst offensive season as a pro, hitting just .215 through 51 games. Perhaps he's a candidate for a change of scenery?”
