Phillies insider reveals return for newly acquired $6.25 Gold Glover
Bader won a Gold Glove in 2021 with the St. Louis Cardinals and has bounced between the New York Yankees, Cincinnati Reds, New York Mets and Twins prior to the Phillies trade.
The Phillies needed an outfield bat, and Bader provides them with what they were looking for. He gives them power from the right side of the plate, as well as elite defense and speed.
Matt Gelb of The Athletic recently revealed the return for Bader. The Phillies are sending two prospects to the Twins in exchange.
"Phillies are sending outfielder Hendry Mendez and righty Geremy Villoria to Twins for Harrison Bader, according to sources," Gelb posted on X.

Bader is hitting .258/.339/.439 with 12 home runs, 38 RBI, 10 stolen bases, a 2.8 WAR and a .778 OPS. He also has a 111 OPS+.
This may not be an earthshattering move, but it is one that should help the Phillies out as they try to catch the Mets in the National League East. They are just a half-game behind New York in the division.
The price clearly wasn't too extreme for Bader. They gave up an outfield prospect and pitcher in exchange for the veteran, and they aren't highly regarded prospects.
Still, it will be interesting to see how Bader fits into the Phillies plans. He should play every day in center field for a team fighting for a playoff spot.
He'll also bring veteran leadership to the clubhouse.

Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski placed on IL with tibia contusion
Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a left tibia contusion. The team announced Sunday that Misiorowski's designation was retroactive to July 31, a few days after the All-Star right-hander took a line shot to the shin in the first inning against the Chicago Cubs. Misiorowski (4-1, 2.70 ERA) struggled a bit to close the inning, but settled down and retired 10 consecutive batters while throwing 40 pitches over the next three. Misiorowski told reporters before his scheduled start Sunday against the Washington Nationals that he anticipates missing about two starts and being ready to go after the 15 days. Right-hander Logan Henderson was recalled from Triple-A Nashville and expected to start in his place against the Nationals. ___ AP MLB:
