With the trade deadline fast approaching, the Philadelphia Phillies will be looking to make some big moves to bolster their roster ahead of a potential deep playoff run. The Phillies have made numerous trade deals at the deadline over the years. Some of them have worked out better than planned, whereas everyone probably wishes other never happened.
In recent times, the trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates that brought Rodolfo Castro to the Phillies in exchange for pitcher Bailey Falter in 2023 could fall under this category. Castro provided all of three hits, two runs and two RBIs in his 14-game stint with the Phillies in 2023.
