MLB trade deadline: Phillies add Luis Arraez as table-setter for Harper and Schwarber‎

The Philadelphia Phillies took a big swing early Monday, acquiring three-time batting champion Luis Arraez from the San Francisco Giants to create RBI opportunities for sluggers Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, according to multiple reports. Arraez is hitting an NL-best .324 in a resurgent season after signing a $12 million, one-year deal with San Francisco early in spring training. The 29-year-old has his highest batting average since 2023, and he's played better defense at second base after questions about his glove hindered his market in free agency.
