If there's one obvious trade deadline target for the Philadelphia Phillies, it's relief pitching. The bullpen already looked like a weak point for the Phillies, then José Alvarado got himself suspended for 80 games.

The Boston Red Sox suffered another defeat on Monday, driving the team deeper into a losing record and underscoring some bigger questions facing the franchise. As the team continues to underperform, it seems increasingly likely that the front office will opt to trade away the players it can at the midseason deadline and retool toward contention in the near future.
