Phillies acquire 29-year-old All-Star OF Austin Hays

The Philadelphia Phillies have acquired 29-year-old All-Star outfielder Austin Hays for the Baltimore Orioles for reliever Seranthony Dominguez and outfielder Cristian Pache, the team announced .

"He can play left field. This is the platoon partner for Brandon Marsh. I like it, I'm good with this. But here's what it tells me, there's another bigger move coming," Giglio reacted on the 94WIP Midday Show. "It feels like without Pache maybe [Johan] Rojas can move to the Pache role and get another center fielder in here...I think this is a precursor to another move."

Hays is hitting .328/.394/.500 against left-handed pitchers and will likely platoon in the outfield with Brandon Marsh.

Hays, who was an All-Star last year, is slashing .255/.316/.395 this season with three home runs and 14 RBI.

Hays, who makes $2.2 million, is under team control for the rest of 2024 and the 2025 season, as well.
