The Major League Baseball trade deadline is July 31, which means we're eight days away and the ticking of the clock is starting to become audible. We've seen very little movement thus far, but there's still some sorting out to be done in the standings and we've got over a week.

The Phillies are not looking for band-aids for their bullpen. They have tried that. It's been a really long time since Philadelphia made a trade deadline splash, and it's possible they target some of the best relievers in the game who can help the team in 2025 and beyond.

Philadelphia Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski has historically operated with a go-big-or-go-home mentality, so it's not a surprise the team is believed to be looking to make a big splash prior to the July 31 trade deadline.
