Well, someone is being placed on the 40-man roster.
The Phillies have traded pitcher Alec Asher to the Orioles for a player-to-be-named-later or cash considerations.
Asher went 2-1 with a 2.28 ERA, 13 strikeouts and four walks in five starts for the Phillies in 2016.
The trade clears up a spot on the 40-man roster for someone like Brock Stassi or Daniel Nava, as Todd Zolecki just reported a host of players have been informed they’re also not making the team.
