The Phillies are in contention again as the MLB trade deadline nears. Here are the latest Phillies trade rumors.

The Athletics have reportedly "focused on teams with top-end young pitching" in talks for closer Mason Miller, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, but their asking price remains high.

The MLB trade deadline is Thursday, July 31 at 6 p.m. Historically, the trade deadline always fell on July 31, but commissioner Rob Manfred is able to set the deadline any day between July 28 and Aug. 3, so it doesn't conflict with any games.
