Phillies Shifting to Buyer Mode Ahead of Trade Deadline
After a brutal start, Philadelphia has surged at a 104-win pace over 10 weeks and Dombrowski is expected to be aggressive at the deadline.
The Phillies opened 2026 with the worst record in MLB but have since posted a .641 winning percentage over the following 10 weeks. They have climbed back into NL East contention and are firmly in the Wild Card picture. President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski is expected to be an aggressive buyer at the trade deadline. A Wild Card berth appears likely, with a third straight NL East title also in play.
