As the 4 p.m. ET trade deadline approaches, we continue to wait to see if Philadelphia Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski and general manager Sam Fuld will make any notable moves to improve the team’s postseason chances.
Granted, the Phillies did make one trade Friday morning, acquiring minor-league lefty reliever Braedon Ogle from the Pittsburgh Pirates for minor league catcher Abrahán Gutiérrez. Still, while it’s possible that Ogle does appear in the bullpen at some point for the Phillies in 2021, that hardly moves the needle for a team that’s 3 1/2 games back of the National League East-leading New York Mets.
