According to the New York Post the Phillies are not willing to part with their three top prospects Lou Marson, Carlos Carrasco, and Greg Golson. Here is the direct quote from the obvious authority for Philadelphia sports, the Post;

But teams say Philadelphia refuses to discuss its three top prospects that were all at the Futures Game: pitcher Carlos Carasco, catcher Lou Marson and outfielder Greg Golson. Nevertheless, one AL official said in the right deal he believes Golson could be had. . . .

These three prospects are really the only bargaining chips this team has since apparently no one else finds as much value in Adam Eaton’s steal of a contract as the Phillies do. They will have to let at least one of these guys go if they want anything resembling a quality starter to help out in the second half. Especially after the last start for the aforementioned Eaton, it could not be more obvious that the Phils need help starting games. Otherwise they will be handcuffed into relying on their strong bullpen to tag-team the better part of nine innings at least every fifth game.
