The MLB trade deadline passed a week ago, and the Philadelphia Phillies made four trades. Dave Dombrowski didn’t necessarily make any big moves, but the Phillies’ president of baseball operations addressed areas of need.
Dombrowski acquired Austin Hays, Carlos Estévez and Tanner Banks while shipping away Seranthony Domínguez, Cristian Pache and Gregory Soto.
Dave Dombrowski made right call to protect Phillies’ top prospects at trade deadline
The organization was able to acquire two minor-league players in the Soto trade. 25-year-old right-handed pitcher Seth Johnson and 21-year-old right-handed pitcher Moisés Chace joined the Phillies’ farm system. Johnson is now the No. 10 prospect in the organization while Chace is the No. 25 prospect, per MLB Pipeline.
The Phillies did part with three prospects as part of the deadline deals. Dombrowski sent a pair of 22-year-old pitchers to the Los Angeles Angels to acquire Estévez. Right-hander George Klassen was the Phillies’ No. 7 prospect while left-hander Samuel Aldegheri was their No. 12 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. Dombrowski also sent infielder William Bergolla, who was the Phillies’ No. 11 prospect, to the Chicago White Sox to acquire Banks.
