MLB Rumors: Potential Phillies targets (non-rentals) include Mike Minor, Marcus Stroman, Matt Boyd

And so, it sort of makes sense that the Phillies, while likely to be buyers before next week's trade deadline, are likely to be a specific kind of buyers.

They will not buy rental players.

According to MLB.com's Jeffrey Flanigan, one-time homegrown lefty specialist Jake Diekman could be on his way back to Philadelphia. The Phils reportedly scouted the flame-thrower last week, and also had a scout on hand Friday night.
