Pirates Ship Outfielder To Philadelphia
The out-of-contention Bucs trade another player as the trade deadline looms.
PITTSBURGH, PA - The Pirates today traded outfielder Corey Dickerson to the Philadelphia Phillies, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
MLB.com’s Todd Zolecki tweets that the Phillies will send international bonus allotments and a player to be named later to Pittsburgh.
The minimal return for Dickerson was expected to be minimal as he will be a free agent at the end of the season. Battling injuries this season, he was hitting .317 with four home runs and 25 RBI.
