The Yanks seem to want to unload some signature pieces while in first as well...don't know how the AI approaches this. The kicker was the Nats listing Harper as available...pulled him off pretty quick.

As a Reds fan, I could see how the game AI could put Phillips on the trade block. He's in the last year of his contract, can be moved for 3 good prospects, and will be 30 in the offseason.His salary is 9.5 million and the Reds only have 88 million in cap space. I'll probably look at signing him to a 3 year deal, at least until I can find a suitable replacement.In real life, a trade would be unlikely because his club option becomes mutual if he's traded.

As to Harper, move him to LF.It's what I did. It's June 1 and I still haven't seen him on trade block.
