Phillies: Ten trades that have molded the last decade

July 29, 2009

In one of Amaro’s signature deadline trades, he acquired yet another proven ace in Cliff Lee. Lee was instantly embraced by the city of Philadelphia for nose to the grindstone work ethic.

He was turned to again and again during their run in 2009, with a postseason record of 4-0. He will always be remembered as one of the most clutch pitchers in Phillies history.

Carrasco has been a strong starter for Cleveland in the eight years since the trade, even leading the league with 18 wins in 2017. Lou Marson and Jason Donald have both spent time in the majors with Cleveland coming off of the bench, but nei  ther has seen any significant major league time since 2012.
