MLB analyst: 'Would make sense to deal' Mick Abel in Phillies trade package for these two All-Stars

The Philadelphia Phillies are eyeing roster improvements as the trade deadline approaches, with a focus on enhancing both their bullpen and outfield offense. Top pitching prospect Mick Abel, who struggled recently, remains a notable asset after showcasing potential in his MLB debut against Paul Skenes.

Despite being reassigned to Triple-A following a rough outing this month, Abel’s future looks bright. He has been suggested as a potential centerpiece in trade discussions that could involve bringing in Steven Kwan and Emmanuel Clase from the Cleveland Guardians. Kwan’s left-handed hitting could bolster the left field position, while Clase would address the need for a reliable closer.

What should the Phillies' strategy be heading into the trade deadline?How has the Phillies' performance this season influenced their trade decisions?What role does analytics play in the Phillies' trade decisions?What are the potential consequences of trading Mick Abel?
