SHUGART SENT TO THE PHILLIES
The Philadelphia Phillies acquired pitcher Chase Shugart from the Pittsburgh Pirates for infielder Francisco Loreto.
What does it give the Philadelphia Phillies
The 29-year-old Shugart was serviceable for the Pirates last season, so he might be able to carve out a role out of Philadelphia's bullpen in 2026.
What does it give the Pittsburgh Pirates
Loreto is an 18-year-old infielder who is in the early stages of his professional baseball career. He was a good addition for the Bucs in this trade.
Fantasy impact
Shugart has negligible fantasy value, while Loreto is still several years away from the big leagues. Keep an eye on him.
