Talking trades is one of everyone’s favorite pastimes. Making a theoretical deal for another player is just fun, something that shows depth of knowledge of both the opposition’s team and one’s own.
Then comes the word “untouchable.”
Everyone thinks there is at least someone on the Phillies that would be untouchable. Most of that time, that term refers to a prospect or group of them, but there could be major leaguers as well that should never leave the team any time soon. The question for today follows along those lines: which player(s) in the team’s organization, major or minor league, would be considered untouchable in trade talks?
By nature and contract size, we know that several of the members of the team aren’t getting moved either because of what they are due to make compensation wise or because of how important they are to the whole operation. It’s still fun to think about.
