NL: Phillies snag Duran to close
Jul 31 2025
With the high volume of Trade Deadline action, we've split up our PT TODAY coverage by league today. You can find the AL version of this column here.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Philadelphia Phillies
NEWS: The Phillies acquired Jhoan Duran from the Twins in exchange for catcher Eduardo Tait and pitcher Mick Abel.
IMPACT: High
BHQ SPIN: Duran has been having a very successful season as the Twins’ closer: 2.01 ERA (2.80 xERA) with 16 saves. Until we see how Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson uses his relievers, we’re projecting Duran to get 75% of the Phils’ saves with the other 25% spread among five other relievers.
