PHILLIES ADD JOSE BAUTISTA
The Philadelphia Phillies acquired outfielder/infielder Jose Bautista from the New York Mets for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
What does it give the Philadelphia Phillies
Veteran Bautista will serve as a power-hitting bat off the bench for the Phillies down the stretch. He can play either corner outfield and infield positions, so he should also serve a backup role during his stint in Philadelphia.
What does it give the New York Mets
The Mets decided to part ways with Bautista, who was only brought on board earlier this season because of a series of injuries in Queens. Moving him now may give younger players more at-bats for the rest of 2018.
Fantasy impact
Bautista was playing a lot more in New York than what should be the case in Philadelphia, so whatever fantasy value he owned is now pretty much gone.
