Before you get too excited, the Philadelphia Phillies have not traded for any pitchers to bolster their bullpen.

In fact, it’s the opposite.

The Phillies’ first move ahead of the deadline is to finally complete a trade they began back in January. Early in 2021, the Phillies acquired infielder C.J.Chatham from the Boston Red Sox for a player to be named later.
