Phillies rumor: Klentak prepared to cash in on Pat Neshek at trade deadline

In November little was thought of the Phillies acquiring veteran set-up man Pat Neshek from Houston for a player to be named later.

Seven months later the Phillies have an opportunity to swap the 36-year-old reliever for a package of young impact players.

A baseline for general manager Matt Klentak will be the Andrew Miller trade between the Yankees and Indians last offseason. The deal for OF Clint Frazier (Cleveland’s number two prospect), LHP Justus Sheffield (#6), RHP J.P. Feyereisen, and RHP Ben Heller.

Could the Phillies get a collection of a franchise’s top prospects for a pitcher they paid nothing for?
