Tampa Bay designated Phillips for assignment yesterday after acquiring <strong>Jos\u00e9 Siri<\/strong> from the Astros.  He was reported to have interest from multiple clubs earlier this morning.<\/p>\n<p>Phillips, 28, is an all-world defender with prolific strikeout issues that have weighed down an otherwise enviable blend of power and speed.  He&#8217;s hitting just .147\/.225\/.250 this season and carries a tepid career .190\/.276\/.350 batting line in 883 plate appearances.  That said, Phillips has a more passable .212\/.296\/.407 slash against right-handed pitching, has swatted 28 home runs and has gone 36-for-41 in the rough equivalent of one and a third full season&#8217;s worth of plate appearances at the MLB level.  He can also be controlled for another two seasons via arbitration.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unlikely the O&#8217;s have an everyday role in mind for Phillips \u2014 barring a more stunning trade of an established outfielder such as Cedric Mullins or Austin Hays.  But there&#8217;s good value to Phillips&#8217; blend of speed, defense and power coming off the bench.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/5067886\/300x250_2_MLB -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4:40pm: The Rays announced that Phillips was traded to the Orioles in exchange for cash. 4:28pm: The Orioles are acquiring outfielder Brett Phillips from the Rays, tweets Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com.
