Phillies trade rumors are all over the place, as you can see on our live trade tracker, and the latest rumor is surrounding the bullpen.
Ken Rosenthal and Matt Gelb of The Athletic both are reporting the Phillies are “expected” to add a left-handed pitcher to their bullpen. The name mentioned by Rosenthal is one of the Phillies organization and fan base knows well, Jake Diekman.
Former Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr traded Diekman in the Cole Hamels deal with Texas in 2015, which was a major move in the rebuild. After missing all but 11 games last year following multiple colon surgeries, Diekman has bounced back in a big way for Texas.
