Before the 2013 season began, the Phillies traded away two young pitchers in Trevor May and Vance Worley to acquire the light-hitting but contact-heavy outfielder Ben Revere. After playing two and a half seasons in Philadelphia, Revere was traded yet again to the Blue Jays for fireballers Alberto Tirado and Jimmy Cordero at the 2015 trade deadline.
Jimmy Cordero was traded to the Nationals this week for a player to be named later or cash. This came after the club designated him for assignment to open up his 40-man roster spot.
