Philadelphia Phillies NL East
Trade Details
AVILAN ADDED BY PHILADELPHIA Wednesday, August 22, 2018
The Philadelphia Phillies acquired pitcher Luis Avilan from the Chicago White Sox for pitcher Felix Paulino.
What does it give the Philadelphia Phillies?
In Avilan, the Phillies land a quality left-handed reliever who should help them down the stretch (and possibly in the postseason). He instantly becomes Philadelphia's top lefty reliever.
What does it give the Chicago White Sox?
In Paulino, the White Sox get a versatile right-hander who is still 23 years old. Therefore, he has a chance to find his way to the big leagues at some point. He is not a top prospect, though.
Fantasy Impact
Avilan was seeing save chances with the White Sox recently, so his fantasy stock may dip if used strictly as a situational left-hander with the Phils. Paulino is off the fantasy radar until further notice and is not much of a keeper prospect.
