⚾ Ahead of the start of MLBFreeAgency, the Phillies are making some roster moves, bringing in two new pitchers. NBCSPhilly ringthebell
The Phillies added their first two new players of the offseason via waivers from the San Francisco Giants, claiming left-handed pitcher Andrew Vasquez and right-hander Luis Ortiz.
Ortiz is a 27-year-old former first-round pick of the Texas Rangers. He was selected 30th overall in 2014, the same first round that produced Aaron Nola. Ortiz was taken three picks before Michael Kopech and four picks before Jack Flaherty. Ortiz appeared in just three big-league games in 2018 and 2019 prior to this season, when he pitched well for the Giants over the final month. He allowed one run in 8⅔ innings with four appearances lasting longer than an inning.
