The Phillies used a series of trades to jump-start their rebuild a few years ago, namely trading Cole Hamels to the Rangers among several others.
Now that it has been a few years, we are starting to see the fruits of this rebuild bloom in the majors. Jerad Eickhoff, Jorge Alfaro, Jake Thompson, and Nick Williams have all made it to the major-leagues with varying degrees of success. In addition, players from other trades like Zach Eflin, Ben Lively, and Vince Velasquez have all made it to the majors with others still developing as prospects.
