The Philadelphia Phillies would love for Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan to fill a hole in their lineup at the MLB trade deadline.

Kwan is the ideal table-setter in front of big boppers like Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner and Bryce Harper, and his defense would allow Philly to really clamp down late in games with Marsh and Johan Rojas. Luis Robert Jr. might be the flashier name, but Kwan has been the better player for a while now, and he checks a ton of boxes for Dave Dombrowski.

On Friday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic predicted that the Phillies would trade former first-round pick Mick Abel, a 23-year-old right-handed pitcher who made his debut earlier this season, to address their needs. "No one ever has enough starting pitching, which is why Abel’s renaissance season is important," wrote Gelb.
