Phillies finally ready to make a big move at the trade deadline?

Just read this breakdown of the Phillies’ trade deadline plans and honestly, it’s about time they consider going all-in. After years of Dave Dombrowski picking up rentals and mid-tier prospects, sounds like they’re finally willing to trade some real talent for controllable pieces, especially in the bullpen. The numbers are brutal - our relievers throw more strikes than anyone but have the 19th highest whiff rate on those strikes. Since Alvarado’s suspension, we’ve had the lowest whiff rate in baseball on two-strike pitches. That’s not winning baseball in October. I’m intrigued by the Emmanuel Clase rumors from Cleveland. Guy’s locked up through 2026 with cheap options and is absolutely dominant. Griffin Jax and Jhoan Durán from the Twins would be huge gets too. The article mentions it would cost multiple top prospects, but with the “Wheeler Window” closing and the CBA expiring before 2027, this might be our best shot. What’s interesting is they’re keeping Andrew Painter untouchable but everyone else seems available. Aidan Miller hasn’t hit for average or power at Double-A, so maybe he’s the centerpiece in a bigger deal. The farm system is top-heavy anyway, so trading from depth makes sense. What do you think - should the Phillies finally mortgage some of the farm for a legitimate championship run? #Phillies
