Well, the 2022 MLB Trade Deadline was akin to a brick wall sprouting out of the ground and hitting baseball fans everywhere in the face. Most notably, the historic Juan Soto/Josh Bell Trade to the San Diego Padres. The Phillies traded for Edmundo Sosa (STL), Brandon Marsh (LAA), David Robertson (CHC), and Noah Syndergaard (LAA). In doing so, they sacrificed little to acquire pieces that A. made the team better, and B. Dombrowski filled holes the Phillies had at CF, RP, SP, and defense.
The main piece discussed in this article is newly acquired outfielder Brandon Marsh.
