What is the story about?
Looks
like Kyle Schwarber ate some of the diarrhea lettuce, which is bad. Team needs as many runs as they can get, so hopefully it’s a one game thing.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- When Zack Wheeler and Jhoan Duran have off nights, the team suffers. They can’t have too many more of them ($).
- Bryce Harper gave an interview, saying everyone knows what the Phillies need at the deadline and that he believes they’ll get them.
- I know you like mock trades being made for the Phillies, so here are three that would make them better at the deadline.
MLB news:
- The choice of what to do with Tarik Skubal is pretty clear. The Tigers have to move on and make the deal if it’s there ($).
- There are some questions asked of Ralph in this mailbag that include the Phillies, including one that asks if they should rebuild ($).
- Casey Schmitt, a major piece the Giants could have traded this deadline, is going to miss time with a torn meniscus.
- Curtis Mead, recently traded to the Red Sox, will miss time with a broken wrist. That’s tough news for Boston.
