As the July trade deadline nears, The Philadelphia Phillies will be looking to move current players to relieve some salary and acquire a much-needed corner outfielder.
There are several Phillies and players in Triple-A Lehigh Valley that could be combined to obtain a quality right-handed bat. The Phillies need help in both right and left field. Raul Ibanez’ career is over, Domonic Brown is still getting acclimated to the major leagues and Ben Francisco is not an everyday major league player.
The Phillies have an abundance of first base talent in the minor leagues and could use them as a throw-in to seal a deal.
