They're currently 21 games above .500 and hold the best record in Major League Baseball. There is a lot of similarities between this team and the 2011 team who won a franchise-record 102 games.
Despite finishing with the best record in the league, they were eliminated in heartbreaking fashion by thePhiladelphia wants to avoid that fate this season. Arms are always going to be a premium, and the Phillies know all too well that their relief unit can get a bit shaky in the playoffs. That feels like the obvious area they'll look to add, and"Still, if you're looking to put the cherry on top of what’s already a very talented bullpen, Helsley could be that guy. He's a closer that can reach triple digits and has just a 1.63 ERA since the start of the 2022 season," he writes.
Right now, St. Louis seems like potential sell candidates after sitting with a 22-26 record entering Tuesday that puts them six games out of their division's lead, but only 1.5 out of the final Wild Card spot.
