The franchise hasn’t seen this type of regular season success since 2011. They traded for Hunter Pence that year because the lineup lacked juice. This team may not need that sort of move.
There are many reports and rumors about this trade deadline, so I want to spend the next several hundred words reviewing everything.
Lane Thomas and Kyle Finnegan
The most ground-breaking report came from Matt Gelb on Wednesday, who said the Phillies were interested in Washington National’s Lane Thomas and Kyle Finnegan.
Thomas would be a solid addition for what they’re looking for.
