Welp, that was quick. As fast as everyone thought that Pirates lefty Tyler Anderson was coming to the Phillies, he’s headed to Seattle faster. Around 3:45 PM on Tuesday, we first caught wind the starter Tyler Anderson would be coming to Philadelphia.
He looked to be a solid addition for the Phillies. Anderson had a 4.35 ERA over 103.1 IP in 2021 for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He looked even better when removing his worst start. Without his 5 innings where the Braves scored 9, he’d have a 3.76 ERA.
With Matt Moore (Moore about him later) and Vince Velasquez on the roster, it seemed to be a solid get.
