Phillies Expected Not to Trade Andrew Painter at MLB Trade Deadline originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Phillies could make a lot of changes at the MLB trade deadline. For the first time since he came to Philadelphia, Dave Dombrowski might finally dip into the top of the farm system.

Philadelphia Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski has historically operated with a go-big-or-go-home mentality, so it's not a surprise the team is believed to be looking to make a big splash prior to the July 31 trade deadline.

The Phillies sound more willing to trade bigger prospect chips for controllable big leaguers, according to officials from rival clubs.
