Phillies agree to acquire Soto (30 saves) from Detroit (source)
The Phillies have agreed to accumulate left-handed reliever Gregory Soto from the Tigers, a supply advised MLB.com’s bought Jon Paul Morosi on Saturday. Infielder Kody Clemens (son of 7-time Cy Young Award winner Roger) joins Soto in heading to the Phillies, whereas Detroit receives infielder/outfielder Nick Maton, outfielder Matt Vierling and Donny Sands, the Phils’ Twenty first-ranked prospect.
The groups haven’t confirmed the deal, which Morosi mentioned is pending medical critiques.
Soto went 2-11 in 64 video games for the Tigers in 2022, however his file belies a 3.28 ERA. He was fifth within the American League with 30 saves final season.
