The Philadelphia Phillies had an ugly swoon from the end of May through the start of June when they lost 10 out of 12 games, dropping their record to 38-29 and losing first place in the National League East to the New York Mets. With a record of 43-30 entering play on Wednesday, it is clear the Phillies will be buyers ahead of the trade deadline. “What’s for sure is this: Between the club’s closing championship window and Dave Dombrowski’s love of action, the deadline won’t be a boring time in Philly,” wrote Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report.
