The Philadelphia Phillies have acquired outfielder Austin Hays from the Baltimore Orioles in a trade that sends reliever Seranthony Dominguez and outfielder Cristian Pache to the Orioles.
Hays, 27, is a versatile outfielder who can play all three outfield positions. He has been a regular in the Orioles' lineup since 2019, and he has hit .269 with 60 home runs and 215 RBIs in 459 games.
Philadelphia Phillies Trade for Austin Hays
Dominguez, 29, is a right-handed reliever who has been one of the Phillies' most effective relievers in recent years. He has a 3.68 ERA in 151 career appearances, and he has struck out 10.6 batters per nine innings.
Pache, 24, is a former top prospect who has struggled to live up to expectations in the major leagues. He has a .247 batting average in 224 career games, and he has been criticized for his poor defense.
The Orioles are getting two young players with potential in Dominguez and Pache. Dominguez is a proven reliever who could be a valuable addition to the Orioles' bullpen, and Pache is a former top prospect who could still develop into a solid player.
The Phillies are getting a versatile outfielder in Hays who can fill a number of different roles. He is a good hitter who can also play solid defense, and he could be a valuable addition to the Phillies' lineup.
Here is a more detailed look at the players involved in the trade:
* **Austin Hays:** Hays is a 27-year-old outfielder who has been a regular in the Orioles' lineup since 2019. He is a versatile player who can play all three outfield positions, and he has hit .269 with 60 home runs and 215 RBIs in 459 career games. Hays is a good hitter who has a solid on-base percentage and power, and he is also a good runner. He is not a great defender, but he is adequate in the outfield.
* **Seranthony Dominguez:** Dominguez is a 29-year-old right-handed reliever who has been one of the Phillies' most effective relievers in recent years. He has a 3.68 ERA in 151 career appearances, and he has struck out 10.6 batters per nine innings. Dominguez has a good fastball and a sharp slider, and he is a valuable asset to the Phillies' bullpen.
* **Cristian Pache:** Pache is a 24-year-old outfielder who was once a top prospect. He has struggled to live up to expectations in the major leagues, but he still has some potential. Pache has a .247 batting average in 224 career games, and he has been criticized for his poor defense. However, he is a good runner and has some power potential. Pache could still develop into a solid player, but he needs to improve his consistency and defense.
The Phillies are hoping that Hays can be a valuable addition to their lineup, and the Orioles are hoping that Dominguez and Pache can help them improve their bullpen and outfield. Only time will tell if this trade will be a success for both teams.
