As this season has progressed, the Phillies have had most, if not all, of their warts exposed at some point. We’ve seen the offense struggle at times, the result of a collection of streaky hitters all going cold at the same time. We’ve seen the bullpen have issues getting people out with any kind of regularity, so much so that a change in the closer’s position has had to happen. We’ve seen the defense struggle to get even the basic plays right. And last, even though there was a stretch where Odubel Herrera was modestly effective at the plate, the center field spot has continued to be a black hole for this team, the stretch dating back to the days of Shane Victorino.
What should be the team’s focus at the trade deadline?
