The Phillies Didn’t Do Enough at the Trade Deadline

The Philadelphia Phillies improved their roster at the trade deadline, but they didn't do enough to meaningfully increase their chances of winning the World Series.

Landing Luis Arraez adds one of baseball's best contact hitters and gives the lineup another player who consistently gets on base. Brooks Raley strengthens the bullpen with a veteran left-handed arm, while Caleb Kilian adds pitching depth. They're solid additions, but none truly address Philadelphia's biggest needs.
