Phillies Therapy: Critiques of the Phillies’ trade deadline

If you were expecting a big splash from the Phillies during this year’s trade deadline, you were probably disappointed.

The Phillies acquired Michael Lorenzen and Rodolfo Castro — one a former two-way player and the other best known for accidentally keeping his cell phone in his back pocket during a game.

On the latest “Phillies Therapy” podcast, Paul Boye and Matt Gelb recap the trade deadline and take a look at what the Phillies did along with what the teams around the Phillies did not do.

Did the Phillies do enough? Gelb breaks down the constraints the Phillies faced on the market, but also argued that the need for an additional starter in Lorenzen is indicative of a greater issue in the organization.
