The Phillies were expected to add at the trade deadline. Being in contention - STRONG contention - for a playoff spot will cause teams to make sure they are well suited to the grind of the final two months that lay ahead of them. The holes on the Phillies were glaring and obvious: center field and starting pitching. The team went out and fixed those holes, plugging the holes that needed to be filled.
Who knew that one of their better trades was the one that most people went “Who?” on.
