When news broke on Monday that the Philadelphia Phillies made a trade with the Boston Red Sox, there was an assumption that the swap might involve outfielder Andrew Benintendi. Last week, a trade rumor suggested the two sides were discussing a trade involving the 2018 World Series champion and 2016 first overall draft pick Mickey Moniak.

The lone player involved in the trade ending up being utility infielder C.J. Chatham for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
