Phillies Stifle $150 Million Mets Trade Deadline Hopes The Philadelphia Phillies' recent series win over their division rivals, the New York Mets, has exposed the harsh realities of the Mets' trade deadline situation.
With only weeks left before August 3, the Mets are scrambling to salvage whatever they can from a season that's rapidly slipping away. The Phillies' offense has been a major thorn in the side of the Mets this year.
Their latest series win has further undermined the value of two veteran pitchers whose names have been linked to potential trades: Sean Manaea and Kodai Senga, who together make up a $150 million pitching duo.
