SOSA SENT TO PHILADELPHIA

The Philadelphia Phillies acquired infielder Edmundo Sosa from the St. Louis Cardinals for pitcher JoJo Romero.

What does it give the Philadelphia Phillies
In Sosa, the Phillies get a serviceable utility infielder who will likely back up at second base, shortstop and third base down the stretch.

What does it give the St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals are moving on from their backup infielder in exchange for lefty reliever Romero. This is merely a depth move by St. Louis.
