The Philadelphia Phillies made a significant addition to their rotation ahead of Tuesday's MLB trade deadline by acquiring starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for Mickey Moniak and prospect Jadiel Sanchez.
With the Angels falling out of contention in the AL West with a 43-59 record, it's no surprise they decided to sell Syndergaard, who will become a free agent this winter.
With Syndergaard on board, let's take a look at Philadelphia's updated rotation and payroll:
- Zack Wheeler
- Aaron Nola
- Noah Syndergaard
- Kyle Gibson
- Ranger Suarez
- Zach Eflin (15-day injured list)
Payroll: $242.
