TREVOR RICHARDS NOW WITH THE WHITE SOX
The Chicago White Sox acquired pitcher Trevor Richards from the Philadelphia Phillies for cash.
What does it give the Chicago White Sox
In Richards, the White Sox add a right-hander with a good amount of MLB experience. The 32-year-old has struggled to stay in the big leagues in recent years, but he managed to surrender just 1 ER in 4.1 IP to start the season with Philadelphia. Chicago could use the bullpen depth, so they will give Richards a look, likely in low-leverage situations.
What does it give the Philadelphia Phillies
Richards was a depth arm in the Phillies organization, and he spent about a week on the MLB roster before this trade. He likely did not have much a future in the organization, so Philadelphia will move on with cash coming back here.
Fantasy impact
This trade has no fantasy impact.
