Joe has his own 30-second segment on the TV show (in which he usually runs well-over his time limit) in which he sounds off on a local or national sports issues each week, and he\u2019s been chomping at the bit to get an opportunity to express his views on the \u201cSportsTalk Shop\u201d blog.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The baseball trade deadline is this week and so far there has been no movement from the Philies. This is not surprising. The Phillies should just sit pat until the season is over. At that point, they need to make changes at the General Manager, scouting, and player development level. Once new people are in place, then player changes can take place. Trust in the present G.M. and staff is non-existent and changes in decision-makers have to take place first. And that&#8217;s Joe&#8217;s take.<\/p>\n<p><em>What do you think of \u201cJoe\u2019s Take\u201d on the plight of the Phillies and the trade deadline?
