## Resource

The Phillies are on a dramatic turnaround after a brutal start, now led by interim manager Don Mattingly and showing real playoff potential—but they’re desperate for help before the trade deadline. With gaping holes in their lineup and rotation, especially the fifth starter spot, they’re eyeing Kansas City Royals assets like Michael Wacha and Lane Thomas to plug the leaks. The Royals, reeling with Bobby Witt Jr. sidelined, are likely sellers—and Philly’s front office needs to move fast to seize the moment.
