Cristian Pache is a former Top Prospect in the Atlanta Braves system that was prematurely given up on by both them and the Oakland Athletics.
During Spring Training, Trade Wizard/Phillies President of Baseball Operation Dave Dombrowski traded little-known pitcher Billy Sullivan to the Oakland Athletics for right-handed outfielder Cristian Paché.
The deal occurred on March 29th, 2023, a day, if not hours, before the Phillies' road opener against Jacob DeGrom and the Texas Rangers.
The Phillies have acquired CF Cristian Pache from OAK in exchange for RHP Billy Sullivan, President of Baseball Operations David Dombrowski announced today.
