MLB Trade Deadline: Phillies Acquire Edmundo Sosa in Trade With Cardinals
Summary
Phillies trade JoJo Romero to Cardinals for utility infielder originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia PITTSBURGH -- While still prioritizing starting pitching on the trade market, the Phillies made a deal Saturday afternoon to acquire utility infielder Edmundo Sosa from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for left-handed reliever JoJo Romero. A standout defender who hits from the right side, Sosa will join a Phillies infield mix that could be in flux in the coming days as second baseman Jean Segura is close to returning from the injured list. Seguras imminent return could mean more time at shortstop for Bryson Stott. Its not clear what that means for Didi Gregorius or how Sosa, who has no minor-league options, fits into the mix. Phillies officials are still hard at work trying to acquire a starting pitcher before Tuesdays 6 p.m. deadline.
