The Philadelphia Phillies could look to make a trade with an AL team to replace J.T. Realmuto.
have been on a roll all season long and are not slowing down at all. In fact, they seem to continually get better. That has fans and media members alike penciling them in as a World Series favorite.
Unfortunately for the Phillies, something happened that will hurt their roster. J.T. Realmuto has decided to undergo surgery and will miss the next month at least. So far this season with the Blue Jays, Jansen has put together solid all-around numbers. He has hit for a .264 average to go along with five home runs and 16 RBI's. Those numbers have come in just 38 games played.
Jansen would be the definition of a rental. His contract expires at the end of the season and it would be very unlikely that the Phillies would re-sign him. They would simply add him to weather the storm of Realmuto's injury and to be a depth piece as they try to make a deep postseason run.
