Phillies Acquire Reliever David Hale From Yankees

According to multiple reports, the New York Yankees are dealing RHP David Hale to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for minor-league RHP Addison Russ.

Hale, 32, was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Aug. 17 to make room for Aroldis Chapman. He had a 3.00 ERA in six innings this season, and was 3-0 with a 2.98 ERA in 28 games with the Yankees over several stints from 2018-20. For his career, Hale is 13-10 with a 4.23 ERA and three saves in 95 games (20 starts) over seven seasons with the Yankees, Rockies, Braves, and Twins.


Russ, 25, was the Phillies' 19th-round draft pick in 2017 out of Houston Baptist. He spent 2019 at Double-A Reading, going 5-6 with a 2.54 ERA, 22 saves in 27 opportunities, and 81 strikeouts in 56 1/3 innings over 55 games.

Both players were part of their teams' respective player pools, so they would have to be added to their new teams' pools as well.
