With the MLB trade deadline looming, ESPN has proposed two big deals that the Philadelphia Phillies should pursue.

The 2025 MLB trade deadline is Thursday at 6 p.m. ET. If last year is anything to judge by, Wednesday and Thursday are going to be chaotic, with several teams making last-minute decisions on whether to be buyers, sellers or some hybrid combination of the two.

Major League Baseball's trade deadline is scheduled for next Thursday, which means teams have less than a week to get their midsummer shopping done. The moves have already started, as the Mariners recently acquired Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks while the Yankees acquired Ryan McMahon in a trade with the Rockies.

Teams such as the Dodgers and Blue Jays have interest in Guardians star Steven Kwan ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

To set the stage for the sprint to the deadline, here's a primer based on what I'm hearing from front office executives across the league.

It’s no secret the Philadelphia Phillies are in search of further upgrades fortheir embattled bullpen. So that’s why David Schoenfield of ESPN suggested thePhillies go out and trade for Minnesota Twins closer Jhoan Duran ahead ofThursday’s MLB Trade Deadline at 6 p.

The Twins are reportedly receiving constant trade calls before the deadline from teams including the Yankees and Red Sox.
