The Philadelphia Phillies have yet to make a single trade ahead of the MLB trade deadline, as Dave Dombrowski is still weighing his options.
But the needs for this team are clear. An upgrade in the infield and outfield would be nice, and it's become apparent this team needs to add to its pitching staff.
ESPN insider Buster Olney is predicting that the Phillies will make two pitcher trades, one for a reliever and another for a starter, by the MLB trade deadline on Monday.
In predicting what some teams will do by this year's deadline, Olney noted, "The Phillies will add a starting pitcher and a reliever."
