Philadelphia Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski isn't going to let a trade deadline go by without at least being connected to deals that will improve his team's chances for a potential playoff run.

The Philadelphia Phillies are targeting Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Dennis Santana, as they have "primary interest" in the righty to fix their bullpen issues.

For three years in a row, the Phillies have made the postseason and were eliminated at various stages after a couple of deep runs, which has largely been due to not equipping themselves with a roster capable of winning in October.
