Phillies Eye Jung Hoo Lee Before Deadline | San Francisco News

The Phillies are hot on the heels of the Braves in the NL East, but a recent offensive slump against the Royals has them eyeing a trade deadline upgrade. ESPN’s whispers point to Jung Hoo Lee — a 27-year-old Giants outfielder with elite contact skills, a .315 average, 33 RBI, and a .450+ slugging percentage — as a potential target. Though not a power hitter or elite defender, his ability to get on base and play all outfield spots makes him intriguing, especially with Adolis Garcia sidelined. With three years and $63M left on his deal, and an opt-out after next season, Lee could be the perfect midseason spark — if the Phillies are willing to take a calculated risk.
