The Philadelphia Phillies started the month of January off with an under-the-radar impact trade.<\/p>\n

Phillies acquire standout relief prospect for veteran lefty<\/h2>\n

According to MLB.com\u2019s Scott Merkin, the Phillies dealt one of their backend rotational pieces to the Chicago White Sox for an up-and-coming minor league talent with serious potential:<\/p>\n

\u201cCHICAGO \u2014 The White Sox started the new year by acquiring\u00a0Tyler Gilbert\u00a0from the Phillies in exchange for Minor League right-hander\u00a0Aaron Combs. Infielder Braden Shewmake was\u00a0designated for assignment\u00a0to make room for Gilbert on the 40-man roster,\u201d Merkin wrote.<\/p>\n

Combs will bring nasty array to Phillies\u2019 farming system<\/h3>\n

In six games played in 2024, Combs went a perfect 2-0 with a spotless ERA and 13 strikeouts across 7.2 innings pitched. Michael Fisher of That Ball\u2019s Outta Here shared this about the 6-3 hurler on Thursday:<\/p>\n

\u201cCombs, who is 23, has one of the game\u2019s \u2018most disgusting curveballs,\u2019 according to Craig Smith of A to Z Sports, who also calls the right-hander \u2018nasty,’\u201d\u00a0Fisher wrote.<\/p>\n

Combs will bring his curve ball, efficiency and winning pedigree from college \u2014 highlighted by SEC and College World Series championships in 2024 for the Tennessee Volunteers \u2014 to Philadelphia\u2019s developmental system. The Phillies will hope their new talented reliever will polish his game and be ready for a call up in the coming years.<\/p>\n

As for Gilbert, the 31-year-old California native has had high moments throughout his four-year MLB career to date. He pitched a no-hitter in his first big league start on Aug. 14, 2021. As for his time with the Phillies, he brought his ERA down by nearly two whole runs from 2023 with the Arizona Diamondbacks to 2024, sporting a 3.24 ERA and a 1.440 WHIP in six appearances last time out. He\u2019ll take those talents to the White Sox as they round out their roster this winter.<\/p>\n
