PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The Phillies have been rumored as one of the teams interested in Marlins outfielder Christian Yelich.
MLB.com’s Anthony Castrovince proposed a trade that might work for both the Phillies and the Marlins: Nick Williams, Mickey Moniak, and Jorge Alfaro for Yelich.
“Williams slides right into the Marlins’ outfield, and Moniak, the No. 1 overall pick in 2016, is the key to the deal, keeping the Phils from having to give up prized right-hander Sixto Sanchez or prospects Scott Kingery and J.P. Crawford, who could both be in the infield this year,” Castrovince wrote.
