00:00We have ourselves a Phillies trade. We asked for one. We got one, Dave Dombrowski and the

00:05Phillies have just pulled off a deal. All right. This is from the Phillies themselves. So it is

00:09official. The Phillies have acquired Austin Hayes, an outfielder, and he's played some first base

00:15from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for Sir Anthony Dominguez and Christian Pache.

00:21Now that's an interesting move. I mean, the Phillies obviously now are given up on Dominguez.

00:25I mean, that that's a little bit interesting. They're not waiting any longer, any longer for

00:29Sir Anthony to come around. Christian Pache is going to move on as well. And the Phillies get

00:34back Austin Hayes. Now Austin Hayes is an interesting player. He's had seasons of 22 home

00:37runs, 16, 16. Now this year, he's kind of been replaced in Baltimore by all their young guys

00:44that here that have arrived. So he's only gotten 175 plate appearances. He hasn't played that much.

00:50He only has three home runs, but he's been a guy that it was an all-star last year. Like he has

00:55some track record to him. It's just all those young guys that have arrived in Baltimore. He's

00:58kind of fallen down the depth chart and he gets to come here. I think he'll get a good amount

01:02of playing time in left field. Yeah. And it looks like, you know, it's the kind of move that you,

01:06that I would, you would think that the Phillies would make. Not, not a big splash, a guy that's a

01:10little bit older and he can come in and he, I think he fits right into this locker room.

01:14Well, here's the other thing, his numbers this year, ready for this against left-handed pitching

01:18as we look for the platoon partner for Brandon Marsh, 328 batting average, 394 on base percentage,

01:25a 500 slugging percentage against left-handed pitching. He hits lefties. He could play left

01:31field. This is the platoon partner for Brandon Marsh. So I like it. I'm good with this,

01:35but here's what it tells me. There's another bigger move coming. You think so? Well,

01:39they just subtracted from their bullpen. So they got to go get another arm.

01:42And I think it means they could also be getting a center fielder because it feels like without

01:47Pache, maybe Rojas can move to the Pache role and they get a different center fielder. Kyle,

01:52I'm fine with the move. I'm a little surprised they traded Dominguez,

01:56but I think this is the precursor to another move. Well, yeah. And then also.
