The Philadelphia Phillies are in some trouble this season. They're 8-10, and while there's still plenty of time to turn things around, there are two major concerns the Phillies are dealing with.

Those two concerns revolve around the production of Alec Bohm and Bryson Stott in the offense. Defensively, they've been fine, but the Phillies need much more from them on offense. And instead of relying on them, they could trade for a new starter.

Fansided.com's Christopher Kline named the Phillies as a potential landing spot for a great upgrade option in Washington Nationals' 1.190 OPS infielder CJ Abrams.

Phillies linked to CJ Abrams trade despite long odds for deal

"Washington probably doesn't want to trade Abrams in the division, especially to a team with Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber, and Bryce Harper - all former Nationals," Kline writes. "Value is value, though, and the Phillies are in a position where the front office needs to be aggressive."
