## Resource

The Phillies are two games back in the division and need a right-handed bat and a reliable starter to make a deep playoff run. While the Giants may be sellers, their available stars don’t fit Philly’s needs—especially with Harper shifting to the outfield and shortstop already locked down. The real targets? Casey Schmitt, a right-handed third baseman with long-term value, and Robbie Ray, a veteran playoff pitcher who could anchor their rotation. Landing both would mean trading prospects like Andrew Painter or lower-ranked assets—a bold, high-stakes gamble that could turn them into title contenders before the deadline.
