Daily News | How the Phillies’ trade deadline moves made the roster deeper, better equipped for playoff push
, as most of the industry fixated on Juan Soto’s destination and landing spots for pitching prizes Luis Castillo and Frankie Montas, Dave Dombrowski focused on strengthening the Phillies’ roster by lengthening it.
The Padres were widely hailed as the big winners at the deadline, landing Soto, Josh Bell, closer Josh Hader, and infielder Brandon Drury. The Seattle Mariners, playoff outsiders since 2001, went all-in on a prospect-packed trade for Castillo. The Minnesota Twins picked up starter Tyler Mahle, closer Jorge López, and reliever Michael Fulmer.
“All the reports [from before the trade] were off the charts, but we didn’t see that type of defense,” interim manager Rob Thomson said. “We saw solid defense. But there weren’t many big plays that he had to make. We’ve seen some diving plays, sliding plays. So, it’s better than what I expected.”
