Last week's Philadelphia Phillies-Baltimore Orioles trades already look pretty lopsided.
were busy ahead of last week's trade deadline, especially with each other. While contenders rarely swap players in the middle of the season, that didn't stop these two teams from completing a pair of big trades with each other.
In the first one, the Orioles sent outfielder Austin Hays to the Phillies for reliever Seranthony Dominguez and outfielder Cristian Pache on July 26. In the second one, Baltimore acquired another Philadelphia reliever, getting Gregory Soto in exchange for two prospects on July 30. Along with Craig Kimbrel, the Orioles now have three former members of the Phillies' bullpen. While a club can never have too much pitching depth, that may not be the best strategy for a team with World Series aspirations.. Dominguez had a 4.75 ERA before being traded, while Soto has a 4.42 ERA since the beginning of last year.
In return, Philadelphia got a far superior outfielder in Hays, who was an All-Star last year and is a career .261/.314/.433 hitter. The Phillies also got a pair of promising young arms in Johnson and Chace. Johnson is now the organization's No. 10 prospect according toTyler is a writer for Sports Illustrated's Inside the Phillies. He grew up in Massachusetts and is a huge Boston sports fan, especially the Red Sox. He went to Tufts University and played club baseball for the Jumbos.
