The 2025 trade deadline has come and gone and with it the hopes that the the Philadelphia Phillies would land a big outfield bat. The Phillies did make a giant splash by acquiring closer Jhoan Duran for the bullpen. However, their outfield addition of Harrison Bader wasn't quite the big move fans were hoping for as the 6 p.m. ET deadline passed.
Bader is certainly a solid player on both sides of the ball and will help this lacking Phillies outfield. But he's not going to bring the top-end talent of rumored targets Steven Kwan of the Cleveland Guardians and the Chicago White Sox's Luis Robert Jr.
