The Philadelphia Phillies came into MLB trade deadline day without having made a single move yet. But they began the day with two significant trades, one for Luis Arraez and Caleb Kilian, and another for Brooks Raley.
But, they could've used another starting pitcher, another reliever, and most importantly, a right-handed hitting outfielder. Well, it took until the buzzer, but the Phillies did make a trade for an outfielder.
According to Jayson Stark of The Athletic, the Phillies agreed to a trade with the Athletics, sending reliever Seth Johnson to the A's in exchange for 25-year-old outfielder Colby Thomas.
"The Phillies made a minor-league trade at the buzzer," Stark reports. "RHP Seth Johnson to the A's for outfielder Colby Thomas. But ran out of time shopping for one more starter or reliever."
