The Phillies are in contention again as the MLB trade deadline nears. Here are the latest Phillies trade rumors.

The MLB trade deadline is Thursday, July 31 at 6 p.m. Historically, the trade deadline always fell on July 31, but commissioner Rob Manfred is able to set the deadline any day between July 28 and Aug. 3, so it doesn't conflict with any games.

The Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets are expected to take a "very aggressive" approach to Thursday's MLB trade deadline, Jeff Passan reported Wednesday for ESPN.
