The Philadelphia Phillies are making significant moves as the MLB trade deadline looms. A day prior to the deadline, they acquired pitcher Jhoan Duran from the Minnesota Twins, a bold step to bolster their struggling bullpen. The Phillies traded two top prospects, Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait, to secure Duran, who is expected to enhance their chances at clinching the NL East.

Despite the addition of Duran, the Phillies are still looking to improve, particularly in their outfield, which has been underperforming offensively. With the trade deadline approaching, further transactions may be on the horizon, especially as they aim for a deep playoff run and a potential World Series title.
