The Phillies are sending single-A infielder William Bergolla, their No. 11 prospect, to Chicago for Banks, and acquired two minor league pitchers for Soto.
The Phillies acquired Tanner Banks from the Chicago White Sox for single-A infielder William Bergolla. Shortly thereafter, they beat the 6 p.m. deadline by shipping Gregory Soto to the Baltimore Orioles for double-A right-hander Seth Johnson and single-A righty Moisés Chace, according to a source.In keeping with their deadline strategy of addressing hyper-specific roster needs, the Phillies added Banks to the bullpen in an attempt to get tougher against left-handed batters.
After years toiling, Carlos Estévez is happy to join a star-laden Phillies core: ‘I’m in the right place’in the seventh, eighth, and ninth innings. Banks will also push righties Yunior Marté and José Ruiz down the depth chart. Soto’s stock fell within the Phillies’ reliever ranks. Acquired from the Detroit Tigers in a January 2023 trade for outfielder Matt Vierling and utilityman Nick Maton, the two-time former All-Star closer struggled without a defined role in Thomson’s bullpen. He posted a 4.42 ERA, including a 4.08 mark this season.
Johnson, 25, was the Orioles’ No. 12 prospect, according to Baseball America’s midseason rankings. Although he will be assigned to the minors, the Phillies must add him to their 40-man roster. Johnson had a 2.63 ERA in 18 starts in double A. Chace, 21, was ranked by Baseball America as the Orioles’ 24th-best prospect. He had a 3.46 ERA in 17 games at the high-A level.
