The Philadelphia Phillies' 2025 trade deadline didn't disappoint. The big headline-getting move was obviously Wednesday's trade for elite closer Jhoan Duran from the Minnesota Twins.
The 27-year-old right-hander, who comes with two more years of control after this season, gives the Phillies the legitimate shut-down ninth-inning arm they've been missing for a while now. It's easily president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski's biggest trade deadline move since joining the Phillies. Giving up No. 6 prospect right-hander Mick Abel and No. 4 prospect catcher Eduardo Tait counts as a big win for the Phillies front office, which was able to keep the team's top three prospects.
