Zack Wheeler is the best pitcher in MLB, and it's no longer debatable. Wheeler spun another gem yesterday to lift the Phillies past the Cincinnati Reds, 3-1, en route to taking 2/3 in the series, and winning their third consecutive series. Plus, Wheeler and Kyle Schwarber were named NL All Stars, while Ranger Suarez, Cristopher Sanchez and Trea Turner were left off the roster. Should every team have an All Star representative?

If the Philadelphia Phillies season were to end today, and the MLB Postseason were to begin, there is absolutely no question that Ranger Suarez should start the second game of the Wild Card Round of NLDS, behind only Zack Wheeler, who would start game 1.

If the Minnesota Twins become MLB Trade Deadline sellers, would their setup man with elite stuff, Griffin Jax, become available? The Philadelphia Phillies and Dave Dombrowski would CERTAINLY be interested, and likely would move big time prospect to acquire Jax.

With the MLB Trade Deadline just under a month away, the Philadelphia Phillies will likely be buyers, once again, this season. They’ll likely look to move prospects to acquire proven MLB talent to make a run into the Postseason, and hopefully, a World Series run. But there are 3 prospects that the Phillies should NOT trade this Deadline.

After being rained out last night, the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres will play a day/night double header, beginning with this afternoon’s regularly scheduled game. Mick Abel gets the ball in Game 1 vs former Phillie, Nick Pivetta. Then, tonight, it’s Cristopher Sanchez vs Dylan Cease. The Phillies look to take consecutive series, as we get closer to the All Star Break and the MLB Trade Deadline.

The Philadelphia Phillies need offensive pop in the worst way. Only Kyle Schwarber is on pace to hit more than 20 homeruns this season. Could Dave Dombrowski and the Phillies look to a familiar trade partner in the Los Angeles Angels to improve the offensive power? Do Taylor Ward or Jo Adell make sense in a trade this MLB Trade Deadline?
