Ten days shy of the 2020 MLB trade deadline, the Phillies have made a move to bolster their bullpen.
Philadelphia has acquired right-handed pitchers Brandon Workman and Heath Hembree from the Red Sox in exchange for right-handers Nick Pivetta and Connor Seabold. The Phillies also receive cash considerations in the deal.
Workman, 32, pitched 72 games for the Red Sox in 2019, serving as their primary closer. He went 10-1 with 16 saves and a 1.88 ERA. He's pitched in seven games this season, notching four saves with eight strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.
