You’re probably most familiar with Duran for inventing the demonic splinker, a mind-boggling 98 MPH offspeed pitch. His 27.1% K rate is top-20 among relievers and ahead of all Tigers except Will ...

Philadelphia Phillies' Dave Dombrowski's "ideal," but unlikely, trade deadline deal would land both Byron Buxton and Jhoan Duran from the Minnesota Twins.

Of the mentioned names, Felix Bautista and Jhoan Duran would likely be the most influential additions. Through 43.1 innings with the Minnesota Twins, Duran has earned 15 saves and a 1.66 ERA.

His MLB.com scouting report highlights his high-spin fastball at 92-93 mph, though it routinely hits 95 mph, his low-80s slider, and his upper-70s curveball with a mid-80s changeup.

The Phillies know if they want to hold onto that spot and improve their odds of making a deep run in the postseason, they will have to make some moves ahead of the July 31 MLB trade deadline.
