The Philadelphia Phillies may not have made a major splash at the trade deadline for an outfielder, but the team did upgrade at the position. The Phillies landed veteran outfielder Harrison Bader from the Minnesota Twins on Thursday for two minor league prospects.
Johan Rojas was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley to make room for Bader and get consistent playing time with the IronPigs. Even with the addition of Bader, the Phillies continue to fail to commit to a consistent outfield dynamic.
