The 2025 MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and the defending NL East champion Philadelphia Phillies did exactly what they needed to do to repeat as division champs. They acquired one of the best players available in flamethrowing closer Jhoan Duran and improved their outfield situation for the time being with Harrison Bader.
Those two separate deals with the Minnesota Twins required the Phillies to give up four prospects, including the highly regarded Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait. That was a relatively minor hit to the Phillies' farm system, as they managed to hold onto their three most highly regarded prospects, much to the delight of their fans.
