Brett Phillips spent a memorable night at Tropicana Field with an 8-year-old cancer patient named Chloe Grimes back in April after the young girl noted that the Rays outfielder was her favorite player.
Grimes received a signed game ball, a wristband, a note and a picture from Phillips, and she got to meet him on the field.
Fast forward to Aug. 2, Phillips was traded to the Orioles on the same day as the MLB deadline. Needless to say, his young fan was devastated when she heard the news.
