Do the Phillies really have untouchable prospects?
We’re already starting with the trade deadline speculation as teams begin to crystallize their opinions about the biggest holes in the team. Usually, they’ll wait until around Memorial Day to truly determine what it is that their team needs, but in some case - the Phillies for example! - the needs that the team has are obvious. Now, we start to see national writers talking about whispers that they have heard.
“The [Phillies], among other teams, already are keeping a close eye on Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley, who will likely be dealt by the trade deadline.”
“Yet, the Phillies are adamant they will not include top prospects Andrew Painter or Aidan Miller in any trade.”
