The Phillies are picking up another starter as the trade deadline quickly approaches.
They are acquiring right-handed pitcher Noah Syndergaard from the Los Angeles Angels, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Jayson Stark added that the Phillies are trading Mickey Moniak along with 21-year-old outfield prospect Jadiel Sánchez.
Syndergaard, 29, signed a one-year, $21 million deal with the Angels last offseason, posting a 3.83 ERA in 15 starts. The former Met is coming off Tommy John surgery and is looking to parlay a good performance down the stretch into a multi-year contract.
