Phillies add Kyle Backhus to bolster bullpen depth
The Philadelphia Phillies continue reshaping their bullpen for 2026, acquiring left-hander Kyle Backhus from the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Friday ushered in a flurry of moves, trading Matt Strahm to Kansas City for righty Jonathan Bowlan and acquiring lefty Kyle Backhus from Arizona in exchange for minor league outfielder Avery Owusu-Asiedu.
The Philadelphia Phillies added Harrison Bader last season, and he is a free agent after declining his mutual option.
The Philadelphia Phillies have a one-year deal in place with right fielder Adolis García, which could be an issue for Nick Castellanos.
The Los Angeles Angels are taking a $2 million flier on former Phillies closer Jordan Romano. According to multiple reports Tuesday, the free agent pitcher will head to Anaheim in hopes of rebounding from the worst season of his major league career.
The veteran utility player, who was traded from the Mets to the Phillies in July, is headed back to the West Coast in free agency.
