Phillies Trade Scott Kingery to Angels for Cash Considerations

The former top prospect's tenure in Philadelphia concludes after a challenging career and two seasons in Triple-A.

Scott Kingery, once a highly-touted prospect, was traded from the Phillies to the Angels, marking the end of his time in Philadelphia.
Kingery, 30, spent the last two seasons in Triple-A, where he hit .268 with 25 home runs during the 2024 season.
Originally drafted in the second round in 2015, Kingery signed a $24 million contract in 2018 but struggled to maintain a consistent presence in the majors.
The trade provides the Angels with a versatile infielder who has played at shortstop, second base, and center field but has also struggled with a high strikeout rate.
The Phillies' ownership group also announced the addition of three new investors, signaling continued financial support and strategic growth plans for the franchise.
