This was what I expected out of Klentak. The Phillies added depth players throughout the season and the trade deadline was not different. In the end, Corey Dickerson was traded for cash and a player to be named later.
The 30-year-old outfielder is a rental player, meaning his contract expires at the end of this year. Dickerson has only played in 43 games but is batting .317 and of course, is a former all-star and gold glove winner. The Phillies acquiring Dickerson strengthens the bench but also makes me curious if Jay Bruce’s injury is more serious than anticipated.
