The Philadelphia Phillies completed a minor trade Saturday afternoon, and did so with one of the teams they are competing for a National League Wild Card spot with.
Ken Rosenthal and Katie Woo of The Athletic were the first to report that the Phillies have acquired infielder Edmundo Sosa from the St. Louis Cardinals. The team has since confirmed the trade, announcing that left-handed reliever JoJo Romero will head to St. Louis in the deal.
Sosa has slashed .245/.318/.350 with a .668 OPS in 177 games spanning parts of four seasons with the Cardinals.
