Phillies address trade deadline needs in proposal for Royals All-Star pitcher and outfielder

With just a few days until Monday's trade deadline, the Philadelphia Phillies should be one of the most active teams. They are one of the top clubs in the National League and could use the deadline to add reinforcments to the roster. Recently, first baseman Bryce Harper said this about the Phillies' current roster, specifically the offense: "I think we need some help," Harper told reporters after Philadelphia's 1-0 loss to the Miami Marlins. Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski could turn to the Kansas City Royals for the help Harper is pleading for. On Friday, Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter proposed a trade idea between the two clubs that would land the Phillies an All-Star starting pitcher and right-handed hitting outfielder.
