Going into the 2018-19 offseason Phillies general manager Matt Klentak knew he had to reshape a team that lost a first-place lead they held for 39 days.
With a laundry list of things to accomplish, Klentak pulled off three trades, two of which reshaped the Phillies organization for the next decade.
An early December trade that went under the radar was made with the Los Angeles Angels where the clubs swapped left-handed relievers.
This trade made little sense on the Angels side at the time with Jose Alvarez having better numbers and a better contract situation than Luis Garcia.
