Aidan Miller — one of the top prospects in the Phillies' system — spoke about trade rumors surrounding him in advance of the July 31 trade deadline.

“I try not to be on [social media] too much, especially during the trade deadline, because nobody really knows what's going to happen until it happens,” Miller said to Aiden Stepansky of MILB.com. “If I do end up being traded, I'm sure it'll be a good situation. But I want to be here in Philly.”

Miller — ranked the No. 2 prospect in the organization by Phillies Nation's Ty Daubert — has been a popular name to mock in trades in recent weeks.

Lincoln Financial Field has been home to the Eagles since 2003. The franchise has seen plenty of success during that time, including hosting five NFC Championship Games, while bringing home two Super Bowls.

There is some uncertainty about the long-term future of the Linc, though.

On Thursday, the Eagles sent an email to season-ticket holders to survey them about the future of the stadium. There were two surveys in the email, one about potential renovations to the Linc. The other was about plans for a completely new stadium.
