Phillies target Red Sox outfielders in trade deadline push
Boston Red Sox face an outfield log‑jam, carrying five everyday outfielders plus a sixth who shuttles between the majors and Triple‑A. With the July trade deadline approaching, the club is considering moving Jarren Duran or Masataka Yoshida to the Philadelphia Phillies, who are scrambling for outfield depth after season‑ending injuries to Adolis Garcia (lat tear) and Johan Rojas (elbow surgery).
The Phillies have been scouting other right‑field options such as Angels prospect Jo Adell and Cubs veteran Seiya Suzuki, and recently added Derek Hill from the White Sox. A deal for Duran would depend on the return timeline of Boston’s left‑field prospect Roman Anthony, while Yoshida could be moved more easily. Both teams view the exchange as a chance to address immediate roster needs and future planning.
