The Phillies were buyers at the Aug. 3 trade deadline, adding three-time batting champion Luis Arraez and relievers Caleb Kilian and Brooks Raley. Those big-league players, of course, cost prospects.
Philadelphia sent minor leaguers Luke Gabrysh and John Spikerman to the Mets to acquire Raley. It took breakout starting pitcher Ramon Marquez and reliever Mary Gair to get Arraez and Kilian from the Giants.
So where does the Phillies’ farm system stand after the deadline? Phillies Nation decided to lay that out. Marquez, the No. 4 prospect in the last rankings, was the only member of the top 15 to be traded. That made room for one new addition to the list, along with some light shuffling.
As stated in previous versions of this prospect list, assessments of these prospects are based on the play the Phillies Nation staff has seen covering these players in person, analysis of film, conversations with scouts, coaches and other player-development personnel and information from outlets such as Baseball America, FanGraphs and MLB Pipeline.
1. Gage Wood, RHP
The 26th overall pick of last summer’s draft, Wood skipped High-A Jersey Shore and jumped right to Double-A Reading, where he has a 4.89 ERA and 72 strikeouts with just 13 walks through 13 starts. The 23-year-old right-hander has taken on a managed workload for Reading, having not gone longer than five innings in an outing, but his strike rate is 68% and provides confidence for Wood’s future as a starter. His fastball touched 99 mph earlier this season, and he has the curveball, slider and changeup at his disposal as well. Despite some recent struggles, Wood has all but cemented himself as the Phillies’ most exciting pitching prospect in 2026. — Dan Sullivan, IronPigs beat writer
2. Francisco Renteria, OF
A 6-foot-3 outfielder, Renteria has dominated the Dominican Summer League with a .379/.470/.682 slash line and 24 stolen bases in 53 games. He has five-tool potential at just 17 years old with a strong arm, an ability to hit for power and above-average instincts on the basepaths. Renteria will continue to rise among the Phillies’ prospect list as he progresses through the farm system the next few years. — Dan Sullivan
3. Aidan Miller, SS
Miller, a 2023 first-round pick, has the profile of a future impact right-handed bat and a young cornerstone in the infield if all goes right. Of course, he has not played a single minor-league game this season due to a back injury. In a perfect world, Miller is probably Philadelphia’s starting shortstop or third baseman next year, but it’s hard to know what to expect from him until he proves he can stay on the field for an extended period of time. Perhaps the team’s cautious handling of the 22-year-old this season helps keep him healthy in the future, or perhaps this issue continues to linger. — Ty Daubert
4. Tyler Spangler, SS
The Phillies took Spangler with the No. 36 pick in this year’s draft, and the immediate Corey Seager comps were obvious. Like Seager, Spangler is a big, tall shortstop who hits left-handed, and while the Rangers star has dealt with injuries, it would be a huge success for the Phillies if the 6-foot-3 Spangler can develop into that level of player. The 18-year-old missed his senior season of high school due to a back injury, but his agent, Scott Boras, told reporters that it was more of a strategic sidelining to address a minor issue than a major concern. Spangler made his professional debut for Single-A Clearwater on Wednesday, going 1-for-3. — Ty Daubert
5. Aroon Escobar, INF
In his first full season at Double-A, Escobar is hitting .224/.322/.317 with eight home runs and 57 RBI in 111 games. The 21-year-old has split reps at second and third base this season. Escobar is not the most polished defender and he chases out of the zone too much, but he should have the tools to continue to improve and show off some additional pop with more time in Reading. — Dan Sullivan
6. Alirio Ferrebus, C
Ferrebus, 20, was incredibly productive in 72 games for Low-A Clearwater, hitting 11 home runs with an .895 OPS. That performance earned him a promotion to High-A Jersey Shore late last month, although he landed on the injured list after five games. He’s an advanced right-handed hitter who’s also racked up 21 doubles and hit for both average and power in the minors this year while striking out only 12.8% of the time. Perhaps he’ll need to be moved to first base or another position some day, but his bat would be a tremendous tool behind the plate if he can handle it defensively. — Ty Daubert
7. Alex McFarlane, RHP
The rookie McFarlane is currently in Philadelphia’s bullpen after only one appearance in two short stints earlier in the season. The 25-year-old right-hander has a fastball that has averaged 100 mph so far in the majors with a sinker, slider and sweeper to go with it. He’s had issues with walking leadoff batters recently, but if he can throw strikes consistently he could earn more trust down the stretch. McFarlane has allowed two runs (one earned) in 4 1/3 innings for the Phillies. — Ty Daubert
8. Bryan Rincon, SS
Rincon has revealed himself to be another bright spot within the Phillies’ system. After a hamstring injury prematurely ended his 2024 season and caused him to struggle in 2025, he has pieced together a breakout 2026 campaign in his first year at Double-A. A 22-year-old switch-hitter, Rincon is hitting .256/.396 .477 with 18 home runs. His true strengths lie in his defense, however, as his footwork and hands give him natural instincts at shortstop. — Dan Sullivan
9. Cade Obermueller, LHP
The Phillies’ second-round pick last summer out of Iowa, Obermueller had a 2.78 ERA through 11 starts at Low-A Clearwater in 2026. The left-hander impressed in his first full year in the Phillies’ system, earning him a promotion to High-A Jersey Shore. His first four starts for the BlueClaws have been rough, however, with an 8.56 ERA and 13 walks in 13 1/3 innings. Obermueller hasn’t gone longer than four innings in an outing, suggesting that he could be a reliever long-term, but he has the arsenal to pitch in whatever spot he’s needed. At 22 years old, he has the potential to rise up the farm quickly if he can figure out his control again and adapt to his new level. — Dan Sullivan
10. Dante Nori, OF
Nori, 21, was a first-round pick out of high school in 2024, and he played well on a big stage for Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic this March. But his season at Double-A Reading this year after getting a promotion there at the end of 2025 did not start well. The left-handed hitter batted .245 in 52 games before landing on the injured list on June 9. Nori got back on this field this weekend and is now on a rehab assignment at Jersey Shore. He still projects to be a solid contact-first batter with speed that makes a difference on the bases and in center field. but his lack of power limits his ceiling. — Ty Daubert
11. Matthew Fisher, RHP
A seventh-round selection in 2025, Fisher has a 3.70 ERA through 14 outings between Low-A and the FCL Phillies. The 20-year-old right-hander has a fastball that reaches 95 mph, along with a high spin rate on his curveball and slider. Since he was drafted, he’s been on track to rise relatively fast through the Phillies’ system, and his production for Clearwater’s rotation should help solidify that. — Dan Sullivan
12. Juan Parra, SS
Parra, another 17-year-old the Phillies signed this year, has also put up big numbers in the Dominican Summer League alongside Renteria. The switch-hitter has batted .295 with an impressive 48 walks in 54 games compared to 37 strikeouts. He has hit four home runs, 11 doubles and two triples and stolen nine bases. — Ty Daubert
13. Moisés Chace, RHP
The Phillies acquired Chace along with Seth Johnson for left-hander Gregory Soto at the 2024 trade deadline, and the right-hander showcased an electric fastball for Jersey Shore and Reading down the stretch. Then he tore his UCL six starts into last season. Chace has not yet returned from Tommy John surgery, but he’s still an intriguing pitching prospect if the stuff ends up getting back to peak form. — Ty Daubert
14. Caden Bogenpohl, OF
Bogenpohl hit a combined 33 home runs with an OPS over 1.000 in his first two years of college at Missouri State. As a junior in 2026, he hit only six homers with an .841 OPS. The Phillies bet on his power potential when they took the 21-year-old in the second round of the draft this year. The 6-foot-5, left-handed-hitting outfielder has two home runs and an .853 OPS in 14 games for Low-A Clearwater. — Ty Daubert
15. Will Gasparino, OF
Gasparino was the Phillies’ fifth-round draft selection this year, and he’s already tearing it up in Clearwater with a .286/.375/.500 slash line at the plate through 11 games. But the 21-year-old’s calling card is his power. He batted .314 with 20 homers in his junior season for UCLA, and he’s already nabbed two at Low-A. He has a strong arm in center field and has above-average speed despite being 6-foot-6. Gasparino has the potential to be another quick riser through the Phillies’ system. — Dan Sullivan
