Harrison Bader News: Lands in Philadelphia
The Phillies acquired Bader from the Twins on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. The Twins received right-handed pitcher Geremy Villoria along with outfielder Hendry Mendez.
The Phillies were looking for a right-handed-hitting outfielder to take some at-bats away from the lefty-swinging Max Kepler and/or Brandon Marsh. Bader fits that need well, as he's slashed .258/.339/.439 with 12 home runs and 10 stolen bases for the Twins this season and has a career .776 OPS versus southpaws. He's making $6.25 million in 2025 and is an impending free agent.
