Time Traveler Claims He Will Discover Megalodons And Parallel Universes
I believe that I’ve talked about this guy before, he goes by “Darkness Time Travel” on social media. But he says by the end of the summer, he will discover parallel universes, living megalodons and a Centaur created in Area 51. The time traveler is supposedly from the year 2858 and claims that sometime between August and September the following will happen, “Scientists will accidentally open a portal to parallel universes,” “megalodons will be discovered in the Mariana Trench” and “the first Centaur is successfully created in Area 51.”

6 Left-Field Options For The Phillies At The Trade Deadline
The trade deadline is just a little under a month away. This season it falls on August 1st. Meaning we are only a couple of weeks away from when the Hot Stove really heats up and we start seeing the trades fly. And given where the Phillies are, they should certainly be involved in those talks.
But what is it they need most? We did talk about the specific needs last week. At that point, you would have thought a 5th starter would be a pretty big one. But Christopher Sanchez continues to excel in that role. As long as he is pitching like this, there is no real reason to make a move there. Especially when they still hope one of the young guys could contribute at some point too.
They could also use another relief pitcher. It’s not a pressing need. The main guys in the bullpen are killing it for them right now. But it never hurts to add an extra arm to pitch in those middle innings.
What their biggest need seems to be is another power bat. Outside of Schwarber and Nick Castellanos, they are not getting much power from anyone else. Bryce Harper is in the longest power drought of his life. You hope he snaps out of it. But that is not a sure thing. So another bat that can get the ball out of the park would certainly be of use. And with the plan being for Bryce Harper to eventually play 1st base, and for Kyle Schwarber to move to DH, that power bat likely needs to be a left fielder.
Who could they target there? Are there names no one is talking about who would be the perfect fit?
Let’s look at some of the options the Phillies could have at the Trade Deadline to acquire a left fielder.
