The Phillies acquired Asdrubal Cabrera from the Mets:
The deal was announced Friday night. The Phillies traded Double-A right-hander Franklyn Kilome to get Cabrera.
Cabrera was hitting .277 with 18 home runs and 58 RBIs as the Mets’ second baseman. The 32-year-old Cabrera was a two-time All-Star shortstop for Cleveland earlier in his career.
Cabrera is supplying good power with an okay OBP. The Phillies need offensive help at shortstop, where Cabrera hasn’t played much the last two years, getting no plate plate appearances as a SS this season.
I would not call Kilome a hot prospect. His walks are a little too high and his strikeouts are a little two low, but he does keep the ball in the park.
This is a deal that should help the Phillies.
