Trade deadline rumors, especially Phillies rumors, are rampant in the city as the team continues its rebuild.
One person in Kansas City today noted a couple of scouts sitting behind home plate during the Rangers/Royals game.
That fan confirmed to us that two Phillies scouts armed with stopwatches are watching the game behind the plate while Rangers starter Yu Darvish pitches.
Question for you guys… why are Phillies scouts at the Royals game today???

Of course, Darvish wouldn’t be the only player Phillies scouts could be watching in this game.
