Dave Dombrowski’s first MLB trade deadline in charge of the Phillies is not off to a great start.
The Seattles Mariners have an agreement to acquire Pittsburgh Pirates left-handed starter Tyler Anderson, per Jeff Passan of ESPN. The Phillies, per multiple reports, had a deal in place to acquire the 31-year-old southpaw, but the deal fell through after the Pirates doctors reportedly expressed concern about the medical reports for Cristian Hernandez, one of the two Low-A minor leaguers included in the original deal.
The Mariners, according to Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times, are sending two minor leaguers to Pittsburgh.
