Philadelphia Phillies

The Major League Baseball trade deadline is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Aug. 2. The Philadelphia Phillies are one of several teams geared up for a big move.

Though they'll be looking for improvements at center field and in the rotation, Juan Soto and Shohei Ohtani remain the grand prizes of the market. Unfortunately, it seems the Phillies are out on both players.

Nevertheless, the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, and St. Louis Cardinals remain in the hunt for Soto.

Who will nab the grand prize and who might the Phillies acquire before Tuesday at 6 p.m.?

Michael Fulmer to Twins

Hearing Matt Boyd is on the move to Mariners as well. Has been hurt all year but threw a 40-pitch bullpen session over the weekend and should be able to start games later this season.

It sounds as if the Phillies have interest in Rodón. And yes, the Giants are pursing them in the wild-card race. Also the Twins, Cardinals showing interest still.

Pablo Lopez is not in the deal.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) August 2, 2022

Hosmer has declined to go to the Nats in the Soto deal as is his contractual right. The deal is still happening. Soto is a Padre.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) August 2, 2022

Sources: #Padres and Eric Hosmer’s representatives currently negotiating about what it would take for Hosmer to approve his trade to the #Nats. The Juan Soto/Josh Bell blockbuster — in its current form — is contingent on Hosmer’s assent. @MLB @MLBNetwork
— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) August 2, 2022

To be clear, the Juan Soto/Josh Bell blockbuster hinges on Eric Hosmer's permission for the deal to move forward. The #Nats are on his no-trade list. @MLBNetwork @MLB
— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) August 2, 2022

The package going back to Washington for Juan Soto and Josh Bell, sources tell ESPN:

- LHP MacKenzie Gore
- OF Robert Hassell III
- SS C.J. Abrams
- OF James Wood
- RHP Jarlin Susana
- one more major league player

That's the only holdup right now to the agreed-upon deal.

The San Diego #Padres are getting close to landing Juan Soto from the Washington #Nationals. The deal is not yet finalized.
— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) August 2, 2022

Jorge Lopez to Twins. Nice pickup.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) August 2, 2022

#MNTwins and Phillies are among teams on Reds righthander Tyler Mahle. Underrated pitcher who’s been very good lately.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) August 2, 2022

Many teams have called on Pablo Lopez and Trevor Rogers, two young Marlins starters. The Marlins are decimated by injuries and now out of the race, but with years of control, they don’t have to deal them. They are envisioning an Alcantara, Lopez, Eury Perez rotation top in ‘23.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) August 2, 2022

As the trade deadline approaches, there is a growing sense that the Padres are the most likely landing spot for Juan Soto — and, in a twist, perhaps Josh Bell too. Multiple people have heard there’s momentum in those talks.

#Phillies scouted Marco Gonzales' start in NY last night but no sign of apparent traction with #Mariners, sources tell me & @MattGelb

A clear sign Phillies are trying different ideas as starting pitchers go off the board. Syndergaard still believed to top their shopping list
— Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) August 2, 2022

The Phillies were one of the teams who reached out to the Rays about Brett Phillips after he was DFA’d today, per source. Adding a defensive CF is one of their needs.
— Alex Coffey (@byalexcoffey) August 2, 2022

Robbie Grossman has been traded from the Tigers to the Braves
— Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) August 2, 2022

Noah Syndergaard trade becoming more likely, sources say; Blue Jays, Phillies and Braves involved in talks over past 48 hours. Atlanta's deal for Jake Odorizzi, per @MarkBermanFox26, could impact that. Credit to @_bkuh_ for reporting Toronto's involvement. @MLBNetwork @Sportsnet
— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) August 2, 2022

MLB source: @astros trading Jake Odorizzi to the Braves for lefty reliever Will Smith.
— Mark Berman (@MarkBerman_) August 2, 2022

LHP Antoine Kelly also to Rangers, source says.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) August 2, 2022

Nunez and Oviedo go to Pirates in Quintana-Stratton deal
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) August 2, 2022

Third baseman Austin Riley and the Atlanta Braves are in agreement on a 10-year, $212 million contract extension, the Braves announced.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) August 1, 2022

Three-team trade! Full deal, according to sources.

Houston gets: 1B/OF Trey Manicini and RHP Jayden Murray

Baltimore gets: RHP Seth Johnson and Chayce McDermott

Tampa Bay gets: CF Jose Siri
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) August 1, 2022

— Dan Connolly (@danconnolly2016) August 1, 2022

The New York Yankees are acquiring right-hander Frankie Montas and right-handed reliever Lou Trivino from the Oakland A’s, sources tell ESPN.

First was Andrew Benintendi. Then was Scott Effross. And now the Yankees get Montas to join their rotation.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) August 1, 2022

#Rays bolstering bullpen depth by acquiring LHP Garrett Cleavinger from #Dodgers. Mostly at AAA this season, has 47 Ks in 29 IP. Rays give up German Tapia, 18-year-old OF with DSL team.
— Marc Topkin (@TBTimes_Rays) August 1, 2022

The return on Josh Hader to Milwaukee is significant: left-handed closer Taylor Rogers, lefty pitching prospect Robert Gasser, outfielder Esteury Ruiz and right-hander Dinelson Lamet, sources tell ESPN. Hader will be a free agent after the 2023 season.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) August 1, 2022

Teams are being told they have been eliminated from the Frankie Montas derby suggesting a deal may be close, Yankees are among teams still in.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) August 1, 2022

Phillies looking for some defense in CF. Ramon Laureano is the top of the market but not that likely to be moved. Sone other considerations: Michael A. Taylor, Jackie Bradley Jr. (Dombrowski Red Sox link), Jose Siri.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) August 1, 2022

But I've also heard from multiple teams that the #Phillies haven't just said no on their 2 top-100 pitching prospects, Painter & Abel, but also on Griff McGarry, Ben Brown & Logan O'Hoppe

Hard to see how they can trade for a Game 3/4 type starter without including one of those 3
— Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) July 31, 2022

The New York Yankees are finalizing a deal to acquire right-handed reliever Scott Effross from the Chicago Cubs, sources tell ESPN. Effross, 28, is a rookie with five more years of club control and has been fantastic this season. @JackCurryYES was on it.
