The Phillies, Cleveland Guardians
Digest more
The Cleveland Guardians have seen a few of their best players' names thrown in trade rumors, but it seems they've already made their decision.
Brandon Marsh being replaced by the Guardians outfielder would be a step in the right direction for the Phillies.
The Phillies are in search of bullpen help, and they could be in the mix for Emmanuel Clase of the Cleveland Guardians, who is one of the best relievers in the game.
The Philadelphia Phillies know the bullpen needs to be addressed at the trade deadline, and ESPN"s Jeff Passan sees this Guardians reliever being a good fit.
With the other options on the market, who are much more likely to be dealt, Clase's odds of staying in Cleveland look good. The Guardians' lofty trade demands in a deal for Clase make such a trade unlikely, as the trade deadline is less than a week away.
The Philadelphia Phillies have been adamant that they don’t want to give up their No.1 prospect, Andrew Painter, but a deal like this for a player with the resume of Clase will likely cost a lot.
The Philadelphia Phillies desperately need to add a closer this year. They could look to swing a trade with the Cleveland Guardians to acquire Emmanuel Clase.
That's exactly what Matt Johnson of Sportsnaut foresees the Phillies doing. On Monday, Johnson predicted that Philadelphia would acquire three-time All-Star Emmanuel Clase from the Cleveland Guardians.
