Phillies at the MLB Trade Deadline: Dombrowski adds bullpen arm and OF bat

As the Major League Baseball trade deadline approaches, the Philadelphia Phillies have made one major move, adding closer Jhoan Duran from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for right-handed pitcher Mick Abel and minor league catcher Eduardo Tait.

However, Phillies President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski didn't rule out the team adding another piece to the team's inconsistent offense, and he did that on Thursday, adding Harrison Bader, a right-handed hitting outfielder.

Could Steven Kwan Be the Next Addition?

Other Names Linked to the Phillies

Morosi lists Luis Robert Jr, Ramón Laureano, Harrison Bader, and Tommy Pham as potential targets.

The team has already added one of these names, Bader, but could they look for one more before 6 p.m. ET.

Don’t Sleep on Alex Call

Another name that could be on the Phillies' list, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic, includes Nationals outfielder Alex Call.

Call, as a part-time player, has hit .274/.371/.386 in 237 plate appearances this season. He's done well against lefties, which is why the Phillies are targeting him. Call has an .802 OPS vs. lefties in 2025. He can play all three outfield positions.

Call, a right-handed hitter who plays all three outfield positions and is hitting .274 with three home runs and 26 RBI, but is hitting .314 with a .359 on-base percentage

The Major League Baseball trade deadline is tonight at 6 p.m. ET.
