The Philadelphia Phillies were at one point 9-19, and have gone on a winning streak to get back to 21-23, only a few games under .500, and back in the fight for a postseason spot.
Barring another collapse, the Phillies should be heading towards the MLB trade deadline as buyers. And, once again, the team will need to add more outfield help.
Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report highlighted the outfield need as one the club could use, especially with some question marks on Justin Crawford defensively and Adolis Garcia offensively. Miller linked Philadelphia to one familiar face as a trade target.
"Long story short, pursuing a reunion with Mickey Moniak could be in the cards here," Miller writes.
This would be a very fun reunion for the Phillies, as adding Moniak, who has a 1.032 OPS, wouldn't just be a simple reunion; it would be an upgrade to the team's outfield.
