Phillies general manager Matt Klentak is known for making deals, evident of the consistent Phillies trade rumor news bubbling as the trade deadline approaches.
After trading for minor league infielder Jose Pirela and veteran starter Jason Vargas, the Phillies are reportedly scouting a game that could feature some reliever help.
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Phillies are among several clubs scouting Monday night’s game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds.
The Pirates and Reds are both in the basement of the National League Central and unlikely to make a Wild Card push.
