ESPN's Jayson Stark reports that the Phillies have "talked to the Marlins" about closer Leo Nunez.
The Marlins are looking for young starting pitching this deadline, and the Phillies have a ton of it. Nunez, 27, is sporting a 3.30 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 43 2/3 innings this season and has converted 27-of-30 save opportunities. He'd fit nicely at the back-end of the Philadelphia bullpen.
