The Phils reportedly scouted the flame-thrower last week, and also had a scout on hand Friday night.July 19, 2019

MLB trade rumors: Phillies scouting Blue Jays' RHP Marcus Stroman
The Phillies need for a starting pitcher is pretty desperate. Not only do they not have a fifth starter to begin with, but Jake Arrieta is pitching through bone spurs and is, at best, going at 85 percent. The fact that Stroman is only 28 and is not a rental player strengthens the case for Philly to make the move. He has a 3.25 ERA this season in 110.2 innings pitched.July 15, 2019
