"Mets' Outfield Alignment: Nimmo in Left, Bader in Center for Upcoming Season"

Phillies Eyeing Teoscar Hernandez as Deadline Looms

The Philadelphia Phillies have reportedly inquired about outfielder Harrison Bader, but there seems to be limited traction in a potential deal. The Yankees, Bader's current team, are still in contention for a Wild Card spot, so it's unlikely they will trade him. The Phillies are also interested in Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernández, who could help make up for the offensive production lost due to Rhys Hoskins' injury. The Braves have acquired former Phillies reliever Brad Hand from the Rockies, and the Mets have traded Mark Canha to the Brewers. The Phillies are among several teams looking for starting pitching, but they are content to wait for prices to drop.
