The Philadelphia Phillies have acquired left-handed starter Jesus Luzardo from the Miami Marlins for two prospects, sources told ESPN. Luzardo, 27, had a 5.00 ERA last season.
Notably, Luzardo has yet to reach his full potential as a former third-round draft pick, which suggests he might be a valuable addition to the Phillies' rotation.
With Luzardo joining the rotation alongside Wheeler, Nola, and Suarez, the Phillies hope to enhance their pitching depth without pursuing expensive free agents this offseason.
Luzardo’s performance in his best season—10 wins and a 3.58 ERA—indicates he could be a 'buy-low' candidate with potential to improve if he stays healthy.
