With the MLB now looking like an arms race at the top, teams that hope to push for the World Series are remaining active in free agency and on the trading block, and that includes the Phillies .
With the Mets making a splash by signing Juan Soto, the Phillies opted to make some moves of their own to improve their odds of taking home an NL East title.
With bats like Bryce Harper, Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber already on the roster, Dave Dombrowski was looking to add some talent to the pitching staff this offseason. He’s landed on former Miami Marlin , Jesús Luzardo, who the Phillies just acquired via trade.
Let’s take a look at the full details of Philadelphia’s trade for Luzardo.
