Phillies Acquire Angels Pitcher Noah Syndergaard, Per Report

Just before Tuesday’s trade deadline at 6 p.m. ET, the Phillies have reportedly acquired starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard in a deal with the Angels. according to his Jason Stark The Athlete.

Los Angeles will receive two prospects in return: outfielders Mickey Moniak and Jadiel Sanchez.

Syndergaard, who signed with the Angels to a one-year, $21 million deal last offseason, is 5–8 with a 3.83 ERA in 15 starts this season. He missed nearly all of the previous two seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery, and although his fastball and strikeout average are below pre-injury standards, he has been effective for most of this season in his return on the embankment.

Moniak, 24, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft, but hasn’t lived up to that billing so far as a pro. He played in 47 games in the majors over the last three seasons, batting .129 during that span with 41 hits in 105 plate appearances. He has a career .256/.305/.410 slash line in the minors and has a .924 OPS in 28 games across three levels this season.
