PHILLIES FIND SOME PITCHING DEPTH
The Philadelphia Phillies acquired pitcher Michael Rucker from the Chicago Cubs for cash.
What does it give the Philadelphia Phillies
Rucker should compete for a spot in the Phillies bullpen during spring training, but he has minor-league options remaining. Therefore, his most likely starting point in 2024 is Triple-A ball.
What does it give the Chicago Cubs
As has been the theme of the off-season, the Cubs will receive cash in exchange for a player they designated for assignment earlier this month. This is par for the course at this point.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact with this trade, as Rucker is merely minor-league pitching depth for the Phillies this upcoming season.
