Could Young Phillies Outfielder Be Trade Candidate Ahead of Deadline? - Athlon Sports

The Philadelphia Phillies are still facing challenges in their outfield as they look to bolster their lineup. Max Kepler's performance has not met expectations, particularly against left-handed pitchers. Brandon Marsh has shown promise since returning from the injured list, yet his limited exposure to southpaws raises concerns. Meanwhile, Johan Rojas, once a promising talent, has seen his batting average plummet to below .200 after a strong start to the season.

Rojas, who was previously the No. 8 prospect for the Phillies, possesses significant potential, especially defensively. He may thrive in a different environment where he can secure consistent playing time without the pressure of competition from Marsh. As the trade deadline approaches, teams like the Baltimore Orioles and the Tampa Bay Rays could be potential landing spots for Rojas. Ultimately, while trading him would require careful consideration, it may be necessary for both parties to realize their full potential.

What are the best strategies for the Phillies to improve their outfield?How can the Phillies capitalize on trade opportunities for Rojas?What are the implications of Marsh's performance on the Phillies' playoff chances?What are potential long-term plans for the Phillies outfield?
