Report: Phillies Trade Jim Thome to Orioles
By Kyle Scott
Published:
According to a report by Ken Rosenthal, the Phillies have just traded Jim Thome to the Orioles. CSN’s Jim Salisbury first reported that the two teams were talking.
Rosenthal says the trade will be announced after the game.
UPDATE: Multiple reports say the Phillies will receive single-A pitcher Kyle Simon and, according to Rosenthal, minor league catcher Gabriel Lino in return. So much for all those folks who expected a big reliever.
My thoughts on trading Thome, from Friday.
