J.T. Realmuto believes Phillies front office will improve the club before trade deadline originally appeared on nbcsportsphiladelphia.com CLEVELAND – The Phillies come back from the All-Star break on Friday and face the most important week of their season. Three games against the Washington Nationals, the team that has erased a 10-game deficit and overtaken the Phils for second place in the National League East standings, followed by four games against the Los Angeles Dodgers, owners of baseball's best record. If the Phils play well in those seven games, the front office could roll up its sleeves and get the team some help before the trade deadline.
