The Philadelphia Phillies have been one of the most exciting teams to watch during the 2024 MLB season. They have consistently found ways to win, regardless of the challenges they faced.

Recently, they overcame a major setback when superstar first baseman Bryce Harper and star hitter Kyle Schwarber were both injured in the same game and missed some time. Despite these injuries, they have remained one of the top World Series contenders in baseball.

Currently, the Phillies boast a 62-33 record, making them the best team in baseball by record.

With the All-Star break approaching, attention is shifting to the upcoming MLB trade deadline later this month. For a championship-aspiring team like Philadelphia, the trade deadline is crucial.

The Phillies have two main needs as the deadline approaches: another right-handed outfield bat and additional bullpen support.

SportsNaut identified three potential outfielders the Phillies could target in trades: Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle, Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker, and Miami Marlins outfielder Bryan De La Cruz.

Doyle, a 26-year-old center fielder, has played 91 games this season with a slash line of .277/.344/.465, 14 home runs, and 41 RBI. While not a star, he would be a valuable addition for the Phillies.

Rooker is another heavily linked target for Philadelphia. He has hit 19 home runs, contributed 57 RBI, and has a slash line of .287/.365/.550.

De La Cruz is an intriguing option who has not been widely mentioned in trade rumors. In 2024 with the Marlins, he has played 94 games, hitting 16 home runs, with 44 RBI, and a slash line of .245/.293/.416.

All three players would strengthen Philadelphia’s outfield without requiring a massive trade premium.

It will be interesting to see what unfolds for the Phillies in the next two weeks, but these three outfielders are worth keeping an eye on as potential trade targets.
