Phillies Trade Ben Francisco
By Kyle Scott
Published:
This is not entirely shocking considering the Phillies have spent so much of the offseason focusing on their bench, but the team announced today that they have traded Ben Francisco to the Toronto Blue Jays for Frank Gailey.
Gailey is a situational left-handed reliever who has never played in the majors, but put up strong numbers in the lower levels of the minor leagues. He is a Philly native who went to Carroll and West Chester University.
Goodbye, Ben.
UPDATE: Ken Rosenthal confirms Aramis Ramirez to the Brewers. It's a three-year deal. That's another one off the market.
