| 6/23/25 | Ranking 4 Relievers Named Potential Trade Targets for Phillies Ahead of Deadline. The Philadelphia Phillies have a glaring need that has to be addressed ahead of the MLB trade deadline to remain atop the National League East and be World Series contenders: their bullpen. The Phillies could use someone with high-leverage experience to help replace Jose Alvarado at the backend of their bullpen. Tim Kelly of Bleacher Report recently shared four players Philadelphia could target to address that weakness, and they are ranked below based on the fit and potential impact.

| 6/15/25 | Philadelphia Phillies Should Pursue Future Hall of Famer at MLB Trade Deadline. After a troubling stretch, the Philadelphia Phillies have seemingly righted the ship once again. The Phillies are well over .500 to start this year, but there are some notable concerns for the team. Furthermore, the bullpen has also had some struggles and will be without a key pitcher in Jose Alvarado for a potential playoff run due to his suspension this season. Since both of these issues were largely the reason why they were eliminated by the New York Mets in the NLDS, the team would be wise to address them this summer.

| 6/13/25 | Phillies Star Again Listed As Potential Trade Target for Mariners at Deadline. The Philadelphia Phillies are not a team that will be looking to sell in the coming weeks. With several needs popping up on the roster, Dave Dombrowski will likely be active ahead of the trade deadline seeking out upgrades. On top of that, they have lost closer Jose Alvarado to an 80-game suspension, making him ineligible for the postseason as well. Finding a late-game reliever is of the utmost importance for the Phillies, along with some outfield upgrades. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/phillies/news/phillies-star... |
| 6/12/25 | Could Philadelphia Phillies Make Massive Trade for Athletics All-Star Closer?. The Philadelphia Phillies will be determined to land a high-leverage reliever as buyers ahead of the MLB trade deadline. The Phillies' bullpen, currently ranked No. 24 in baseball with a 4.58 ERA, is insufficient to overcome three consecutive playoff exits, and if they don't enhance their position, they run the risk of not even reaching the playoffs. Before Jose Alvarado's 80-game suspension through the postseason eliminated him from any World Series run, the unit was deemed questionable. Philadelphia should be aggressive players in the trade market, and while some teams are still in the mix as potential buyers, the Athletics are decidedly not one of them.

| 6/11/25 | Phillies Should Target Valuable Nationals Closer at Trade Deadline. Expect the Philadelphia Phillies to be aggressive as they position themselves as buyers ahead of the MLB trade deadline. Jose Alvarado, suspended for 80 regular season games and the postseason, will be absent from any World Series run. Alvarado posted a 2.70 ERA in 20 innings pitched. Philadelphia needs to overcome three consecutive playoff exits at various stages this year, and their thin bullpen unit won't suffice. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/phillies/news/phillies-shou... |
| 6/10/25 | Phillies predicted to target $8.2 million Cardinals All-Star to boost bullpen. The Philadelphia Phillies have needed some bullpen help for much of the 2025 season. Things only got worse when left-hander Jose Alvarado was issued an 80-game PED suspension. Alvarado is now ineligible to pitch in the postseason. With that in mind, the Phillies need for a bullpen arm is even more urgent. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/philadelphia-p... |
| 6/09/25 | Phillies top pitching prospect listed as team's top trade chip. The Philadelphia Phillies have lost five consecutive games and are 1-9 in their last 10 games. Fortunately, they still have control of the third National League Wild Card spot. Earlier this year, they lost left-hander Jose Alvarado to an 80-game PED suspension. Paul Casella of MLB.com noted that top pitching prospect Mick Abel could be used in order to bring back bullpen help. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/philadelphia-p... |
| 6/09/25 | Four Bullpen Arms Philadelphia Phillies Should Target at MLB Trade Deadline. The Philadelphia Phillies are headed towards being major buyers at this year's trade deadline and the bullpen has looked liked one of the biggest points of need. Added in with that is the fact that even when Jose Alvarado returns from suspension in the regular season, he won't be eligible for the playoffs. Here are some of the best names available that the Phillies need to be monitoring. Finnegan was an All-Star for the first time last year and has looked even better this time around.

| 6/07/25 | Phillies Unheralded Reliever is Now Rising Star with Jose Alvarado Suspended. The Philadelphia Phillies bullpen has had its ups and downs throughout the 2025 MLB regular season. Not only is he out for that amount of regular season games, but he is ineligible to pitch in the postseason as well. The pressure has been on him and his teammates to step up with Alvarado not in the mix. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/phillies/news/phillies-unhe... |
| 6/06/25 | Phillies-Rays trade idea would solve Philadelphia's biggest problem. The Philadelphia Phillies are right on the New York Mets heels in the National League East, trailing in the division by 1 1/2 games. The team is 3-7 in its last 10 games, and they are going to have some needs to address at the trade deadline. Jose Alvarado was handed an 80-game PED suspension, and he is now ineligible to pitch in the postseason for Philadelphia. Brad Wakai of Sports Illustrated listed three left-handed relievers the Phillies could target, and one of them was Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Mason Montgomery.

| 6/06/25 | Red Sox-Phillies trade pitch sees Boston cut ties with 7x All-Star flamethrower. The way things stand, the Phillies' bullpen will be short on lefties for the playoffs, because closer Jose Alvarado got himself suspended for 80 games, plus the entirety of postseason play, due to a positive performance-enhancing drug test. The Phillies know they'll be buying at this year's deadline. The bigger question at this point is which teams they'll have to choose from among the sellers, and in this case, which teams with relievers that match Philadelphia's needs will fall out of the race. If the Boston Red Sox were to continue losing, that would be a major development for a lot of contenders. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/philadelphia-p... |

| 6/04/25 | These Three Phillies Superstars Fueled Franchise's Stellar Month. The Philadelphia Phillies had quite the month of May, reeling off nine straight victories and winning 11 out of 12 games to pull ahead of the New York Mets in the National League East standings. Certainly far from ideal, but the Phillies have to be thrilled with the position they are in despite some obstacles that had to be overcome. Closer Jose Alvarado being suspended and starting pitcher Aaron Nola moving to the injured list are testing the pitching depth. Here are three players who deserve some praise for their performance in May, helping get Philadelphia on track. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/phillies/these-three-philli... |
| 5/30/25 | Phillies Acquire High Strikeout Left-Handed Reliever Josh Walker in Trade. The Philadelphia Phillies need to find a replacement for Jose Alvarado. While that might be a borderline impossible task considering he is one of the best left-handed relievers in the sport, the front office has to find some sort of answer in regards to a backfill option. Late on Thursday night, the team made an announcement that they acquired Josh Walker from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for cash considerations and have optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The left-hander was recently designated for assignment by the Blue Jays, so the Phillies decided to make a trade offer in lieu of risking another team claiming him off waivers.

| 5/28/25 | Which Phillies Ace Was Named Team's Early MVP?. The Philadelphia Phillies have already had a few hiccups during the 2025 MLB regular season, but that hasn't slowed them down on the field. Entering play on May 27, they have the best record in the National League at 34-19. It has been an impressive showing for the Phillies, who haven't received the kind of production many expected from their lineup. On the mound, the team has received shaky production from a bullpen that is going to be without star Jose Alvarado for the foreseeable future after he received an 80-game suspension.

| 5/27/25 | Phillies writer explains why team should not trade for Felix Bautista. Just when it seemed like the Philadelphia Phillies bullpen was finally rounding into form, the club got devastating news in the form of Jose Alvarado's PED suspension. The 30-year-old closer will miss 80 games and be ineligible for postseason play, leaving a massive hole in the back end of the bullpen. With Jeff Hoffman having departed last offseason for the Toronto Blue Jays, the Phillies are now without their top right-handed and left-handed relievers from last year's National League East division title team.

| 5/26/25 | Phillies Relief Target Looking for 'Strong Offer' According to Insider. The Philadelphia Phillies know they have to do something with their bullpen. Now without Jose Alvarado until August due to an 80-game suspension, he also won't be able to pitch in October, which is a major loss for this team. Right now, the Phillies are piecing things together. In search of the right combination of high-leverage guys and those who can fill out the relief staff, Philadelphia has been riding their starting rotation hard, something that is not sustainable for the remainder of the year if they keep it up at this pace.
