The Philadelphia Phillies need a lockdown closer now more than ever. They are in a prime position to win their division for the second season in a row, yet it doesn't feel like their current roster is deep enough to finally win it all. Their lackluster bullpen being untrustworthy in high-tension scenarios is a recipe for disaster in October. So it's no secret that the Phillies' biggest need at the rapidly approaching trade deadline is bullpen reinforcements.
They'll acquire a few arms who will certainly improve the current state of the team's bullpen, but they must swing for the fences for a lockdown closer, like Cleveland's Emmanuel Clase.
