Overview

  • A trade announced Tuesday sent minor-league right-hander Griff McGarry from the Phillies to the Dodgers for international bonus pool space.
  • Philadelphia said it will also receive a player to be named later or cash considerations in the deal.
  • The 26-year-old, who has yet to make his MLB debut, is expected to report to Triple-A Oklahoma City rather than join the major-league roster.
  • McGarry was once a top prospect and misses bats, but he has battled walks and Triple-A results, posting an 8.48 ERA with a 66-to-68 K/BB at that level and a 9.00 ERA in five outings this season.
  • He was taken in December’s Rule 5 draft by the Nationals and returned in March under the rule that such picks must stay on an MLB roster or be sent back, paving the way for this low-cost swap.
