The Trade Deadline Just Got Crazy

7/31/2025
This year's trade deadline seemed like it was slowly creeping along, that was until late in the day Wednesday. Thanks to the back-and-forth bullpen moves by the Mets and Phillies, and then Seattle's big acquisition of the biggest bat on the market, things just got spicy. Helping Bradfo break it all down is The Athletic's Tim Britton, who is in the belly of the beast that is the National League East race. Bradfo also gets the chance to sit down with another player who has lived the trade deadline life, current Phillies minor leaguer Lucas Sims. It's a great way to get you ready for the final few hours of the trade deadline.

7/30/2025

The success. The contract. The struggles. The new position. And how the resurgence. It's all been there for the rookie.
