It isn’t often that the Phillies lead the pack in transactions, but this new year, the team decided to get MLB off on the right foot.
LHP Tyler Gilbert (DFA on 12/22) was traded to CWS today in exchange for minor league RHP Aaron Combs.

First of all, raise your hand if you knew that Tyler Gilbert was actually DFA’ed in the days before Christmas.
It’s not a huge deal. It’s not an important deal. The team needed to get Gilbert off their books and decided to move him along to a new team.
