Phillies: Top 10 Players with the Most Trade Deadline Value

Jeanmar Gomez

Phillies closer Jeanmar Gomez opened up eyes at the start of the season, despite not even being considered a candidate for the closers job. With so man one-run games early in the season, Gomez quickly racked up the most saves in all of baseball.

With the sudden fall of the Phillies eliminating save opportunities for Gomez, he has not gotten enough work in. The Phillies could find a team strapping for a closer and get a decent return on a guy they never envisioned having this kind of early season success.

I’d say leave Gomez in San Francisco and fill his seat on the plane with one of the Giants prospects. We saw how volatile the back of their bullpen is Friday night after nearly blowing the game in the ninth inning. I say pull a Billy Bean and send him to the other clubhouse across the ballpark during the series.
