Nick Williams departed the organization on Saturday, claimed off waivers by the Reds. Williams was the sixth and final player remaining in the organization from the Cole Hamels trade with the Rangers that recently had its five-year anniversary.
In three seasons with the Phillies, Williams appeared in 290 games and hit .254 with 31 home runs and 110 RBIs. He was the team's opening day right fielder in 2018, but a lack of production and the arrival of Andrew McCutchen and Bryce Harper in 2019 left Williams without a position. He was always quick with an autograph and a smile, and The Phillies Room wishes him all the best with the Reds.

So is there anyone still on the team whose lineage can be traced back to the Hamels trade? (I haven't been paying attention.)

ReplyDeleteYes - Jorge Alfaro helped the Phillies obtain J.T. Realmuto, so that's pretty good.
