Phillies "vocal" about desire for Miami's Christian Yelich
The Philadelphia Phillies have been "vocal" about their interest in acquiring Miami Marlins outfielder Christian Yelich, according to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal.
What It Means:
According to Rosenthal's Facebook post, the Phillies are open to taking on another contract, like that of reliever Junichi Tazawa, in order to land Yelich. But Yelich hasn't been made available by the Marlins of yet so stay tuned. Something could heat up as the deadline approaches.
Across 84 games this season, Yelich has tallied 8 home runs and 43 RBI on a .338 wOBA. Our models project him for 6 more homers and 32 RBI in 291 plate appearances the rest of the way.
