The Dodgers have acquired Michael Young from the Phillies, Ken Rosenthal of
FOX Sports tweets. Young waived his no-trade clause to allow the deal to go
through, Rosenthal adds in a second tweet. ESPN's Jayson Stark tweets that
the Phillies will receive a minor league pitcher in exchange for Young.
A widely discussed trade target this summer, Young's name appeared regularly
on MLBTR throughout July, but the Phillies opted to hold on to him as the
deadline passed. The infielder reportedly sought to return to the Rangers,
though we heard that the Red Sox were his second choice. Young was also
connected with clubs such as the Yankees and the Orioles.
One of the most popular names in trade rumors this summer is finally on the
move, as the Phillies announced that they have traded Michael Young to the
Dodgers in exchange for minor-league pitcher Rob Rasmussen. Philadelphia will
also pay the Dodgers about $1.7MM - the amount the Phillies were still due to
receive from the Rangers as part of their original trade for Young in
December. Young reportedly waived his no-trade clause to make the deal a
reality.
