Phillies send Tyler Goeddel and Jake Thompson down to the minors

We’re getting down to the wire with the roster, kids. The Phillies made another round of cuts today, sending two players down to the minors. One of them was pitcher Jake Thompson, who will be taking a spot in the rotation of the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs.

The other player is outfielder Tyler Goeddel, who will be headed to the Double-A Reading Fightins. You might remember Goeddel from the 2016 rule 5 draft, and then his entire season on the major league roster.

So obviously Goeddel had a few things to say after his demotion.
