The Colorado Rockies have acquired right-handed reliever Pat Neshek from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for Jose Gomez, J.D. Hammer, and Alejandro Requena. Tyler Anderson has been placed on the 60-day Disabled List.
The Rockies also received cash in the deal.
Neshek is a side-winding veteran who has posted a 1.12 ERA so far over 40.1 IP this season. He is in the final year of his contract.
This is an incredible deal for the Rockies who were able to acquire a reliever who can immediately step into the back of their bullpen without giving up anything close to any of their top prospects.
