After adding four players to their 40-man roster earlier in the day, the Phillies completed their first trade of the 2021-2022 offseason, adding catching and bullpen depth.
The Phillies acquired Nick Nelson (rhp) and Donny Sands (c) from the New York Yankees for minor leaguers Joel Valdez (lhp) and T.J. Rumfield (1b). Nelson and Sands are now on the Phillies' 40-man roster, bringing the current tally up to 38. Valdez pitched for the DSL Phillies this past summer and had a 1.63 ERA over 15 starts and 55 1/3 innings pitched. Rumfield was the team's 12th round pick in 2021 and he hit .250 in 27 games for Low-A Clearwater. I don't have baseball cards for either Valdez or Rumfield.
Nelson has appeared in 22 games for the Yankees over the past two seasons, going 1-2 with a 6.43 ERA over 35 innings pitched. He's struck out 40 and has 27 walks. He's on a Rookie Stars card in the 2021 Topps Heritage set, and he earned his first mainstream solo card in the recently released 2021 Topps Update set. Sands is intriguing as he gives the Phillies some much-needed catching depth. In 94 minor league games last season, he batted .261 with 18 home runs and 56 RBIs. Behind J.T. Realmuto, the Phillies will now have Rafael Marchan, Sands and Logan O'Hoppe as potential back-ups for 2022. Sands first appeared in a mainstream baseball card set back in 2016 with the Bowman Chrome release.
