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.

The Philadelphia Phillies are desperate to add one of the top-tier relievers available at this year's trade deadline, but after the New York Mets just gave up a haul for two months of Tyler Rogers, the price might be too high for Dave Dombrowski to reach.

As the MLB trade deadline looms, the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies are reportedly preparing aggressive moves to bolster their rosters, signaling a potential high-stakes battle for postseason positioning.
