Phillies Eyeing Diamondbacks OF Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
Philadelphia is exploring outfield additions and Gurriel has emerged as a candidate, though his poor 2026 production complicates any deal.
The Phillies are looking for outfield help and have identified Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. as a potential trade target. Gurriel's right-handed bat would add lineup balance, but he is slashing just .216/.265/.299 with a 55 wRC+ over 181 plate appearances in 2026. A trade would also require Brandon Marsh to shift to right field, a defensive downgrade given his weak arm. The report comes from USA Today's Bob Nightengale and is not yet confirmed as an advanced negotiation.
