PHILLIES PICK UP JOSH WALKER
The Philadelphia Phillies acquired pitcher Josh Walker from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash.
What does it give the Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies add a depth left-handed reliever in Walker. The 30-year-old has some MLB experience but hasn't impressed just yet (6.59 ERA in 27.1 IP). He saw just 4 games with the Blue Jays this season, allowing 4 runs in 5 innings. Walker will start out in the minors with Philadelphia. He could earn a call up if they need another southpaw in the bullpen.
What does it give the Toronto Blue Jays
Walker spent a few weeks in Toronto's MLB bullpen, but was demoted after a couple shaky relief appearances. He was then designated for assignment before this trade. The Blue Jays at least got some cash in return for him.
Fantasy impact
This trade has no fantasy impact.
