In addition to Bader, the Phillies acquired closer Jhoan Duran from the Twins prior to the MLB trade deadline.

Reliever Jose Alvarado will soon return to the Phillies' bullpen from his 80-day PED suspension, but cannot pitch in the postseason. The Phillies also recently signed David Robertson for his third bullpen stint with the team. He is now pitching for Lehigh Valley before a likely Aug. 5 promotion.

The Philadelphia Phillies and Boston Red Sox are "prominently in" for Minnesota Twins closer Jhoan Durán, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman.
