Obviously I think the top priority should be finding a way to get Suarez on your baseball team, but I think this would be a pretty good deadline for the Phillies.
Luis Robert, Ramon Laureano , Kyle Finnegan and Seranthony
With Clase and Bautista off the table, the already high closer price is going to be even higher. Really think the Phillies should pivot attention to a real impact bat and Tier 2 relievers.
Who knows if he’s even part of the asking price, but you obviously trade Alec Bohm for Eugenio Suarez.
Twins probably demanding Painter from the Phillies for Bader just to turn around and trade him to the Dodgers for a 26y old single A arm.
Dodgers Interested In Harrison Bader mlbtraderumors.com/2025/07/dodger…
Going and getting Eugenio Suarez — the clear best bat available on the market — would be the type of Dombrowski all-in move we have been waiting for since he got here.
Kills any slim chance of Casty-to-KC.
Source confirms: Royals acquiring OF Randal Grichuk from Diamondbacks. First: @ByRobertMurray.
Eugenio Suarez + Tier 2 bullpen arm would be such a better trade deadline than closer + platoon outfield bat.
The only way I’m trading Castellanos is if there’s a plan in place to add two starting outfielders to the lineup. If the plan is “dump Casty to save cash and play Marsh/Kepler/Weston Wilson a bunch” — I think that would be a disaster.
Dodgers are going to end up getting him for Dustin May and a bag of baseballs.
The #Yankees and #Dodgers are among multiple teams that have expressed interest in #STLCards INF Brendan Donovan, per @katiejwoo and @FabianArdaya The asking price on Donovan is reportedly “sky-high.”
Phillies lineup starting to click is exactly why Dombrowski needs to double down and aggressively add at the deadline. Give this team a real shot in October.
Probably should’ve just given Schwarber whatever he asked for before the season started.
Bat JT cleanup? He’s been their best RHH for a decent stretch now.
This being tweeted out 6 days before the trade deadline feels like a really bad sign lol.
Nobody’s done better in free agency than the Phillies. Wheeler, Schwarber and Harper were grand slam signings.
Ramon has been my favorite *realistic* trade target for like 2 months now. Under control for next year and can be your everyday LF.
I’d really like the Phillies to consider adding Ramon Laureano Club option for 2026 .277/.337/.521 (.858 ops), 14 HR, 43 RBI, 137 wRC+ .760 ops vs LHP .909 ops vs RHP
This is a good pickup for the Mets.
The New York Mets have acquired left-handed reliever Gregory Soto from the Baltimore Orioles, sources confirm to ESPN. First on the deal was @martinonyc.
Ryan McMahon is definitely a good move for the Yankees. Fills a massive hole and they didn’t give up anything of note. They still have ammo to add more. Usually the best trade deadlines are the ones where multiple holes are plugged, versus just taking one giant swing.
