The Phillies entering the break with the best record in MLB was not on my 2024 season bingo card. No doubt we all saw them as a good team, but the best? Not really.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- It was a big day for South Jersey native Tyler Phillips and for the team.
- Cristopher Sanchez is joining his buddies for a few days down in Texas as the Phillies now have eight All-Stars.
- Moving on from Whit Merrifield is just the first domino to fall for the team at the trade deadline.
MLB news:
- We have our first trade of the deadline month, Kansas City shelling out a decent return for Hunter Harvey.
- The Futures Game was a success yet again. Here are five standouts from the game (and please MLB - don’t put it on at 4 on a Saturday).
- The Orioles are an interesting team at the deadline, what with their full cupboard of prospects.
