The Philadelphia Phillies are preparing to make significant moves at the MLB trade deadline, with a clear focus on bolstering their bullpen and outfield. Recent polling indicates that 60% of fans believe adding a reliever should be the team's top priority. The current bullpen has struggled, evidenced by a 4.52 ERA, ranking among the league's worst.

With key players like Jordan Romano facing performance issues, and the absence of Jose Alvarado due to suspension, the need for a reliable closer is paramount. Additionally, while the outfield needs attention—especially in center and left field—the urgency lies mainly in securing effective relief pitching to support the team as they aim for a playoff push.
