This winter will see a bevy of trades in the MLB. Who are some players in the Phillies organization that could be traded by the time spring rolls around?

No more speculation and rumors occurs than during the MLB trade deadline and the offseason. Winter meetings are just a month away, and the Phillies will certainly keep their ears open to any trades, as shown by the recent Pat Neshek deal.

While the Phillies may bring in some players during trades, other teams will also look to pry away some of the more talented players on the team. Ken Giles seemed like a long-term piece in the Phillies rebuild heading into the last offseason, but he was traded at the 2015 winter meetings. The Giles trade showed that few, if any, players are untouchable to Matt Klentak and Co.

There are multiple players in the Phillies organization that could conceivably be traded this offseason. Todd Zolecki of MLB.com said the team would be “open-minded” to any and all potential trades this offseason. This list isn’t limited to major-league players; several prospects could also wind up being traded.
