Overview

• The Phillies sent Double-A outfielder Hendry Mendez and right-hander Geremy Villoria to the Twins for outfielder Harrison Bader.
• Bader, a .778 OPS hitter with 12 home runs through 96 games, won a Gold Glove in 2021 and excels at all three outfield positions.
• Right-hander Brett de Geus was designated for assignment to clear a spot on Philadelphia’s 40-man roster.
• The right-handed bat offers platoon flexibility alongside left-handed Brandon Marsh in center or Max Kepler in left.
• This marks the Phillies’ second deal in two days with Minnesota after acquiring closer Jhoan Duran as they vie for the NL East crown.
