The Phillies have announced that they’ve acquired IF/OF Jimmy Paredes from the Toronto Blue Jays. The 27-year-old native of the Dominican Republic has just 17 plate appearances this season but hit .275/.310/.416 with the Orioles last year while notching 10 home runs and 42 RBIs. He primarily played DH in Baltimore but also logged games at third base, second base, right field, and left field, though he is not known for being a good defender.
To make room on the 40-man roster, the Phillies have placed Charlie Morton on the 60-day DL.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
