The Miami Marlins traded slugger Justin Bour to Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for an unnamed minor league pitcher on Friday, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
The 30-year-old had an excellent season for the Marlins in 2017, ripping 25 home runs and 83 RBI. After slugging 38 homers and 124 RBI in 219 games between the 2015-16 seasons, Bour exploded last year, giving the team a reliable power source in the middle of the lineup.
That earned Bour a spot in the Home Run Derby and the NL All-Star Game Final Vote, though Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was ultimately the fans' selection.
