Former first round draft pick, top prospect, local product, and hail target Jesse Biddle has been traded. Biddle was designated for assignment last week. Matt Gelb broke word of his trade earlier today.

Coming fresh off of Tommy John surgery, Biddle will land in Pittsburgh (likely for a return of cash or a player to be named later) where the former “best curveball in the Phillies’ system” will try to revive his career away from home.
