Luis Arraez will be taking his three batting titles to the Philadelphia Phillies. The San Francisco Giants dealt the All-Star second baseman to the Phillies, according to USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale, in a big move ahead of the trade deadline.
Reliever Caleb Kilian is joining Arraez in the deal, with Phillies No. 4 prospect Ramon Marquez and reliever Marty Gair heading to San Francisco, Nightengale reports.
It's been a disastrous season for the Giants, but Arraez has held his own amid the team's struggles. The 29-year-old is second in MLB in batting average (.324) and his 3.1 WAR ranks fifth among second basemen.
One of the trade deadline's hottest commodities, Arraez became a clear target with the Giants owning a putrid record thus far. Arraez's departure certainly won't help matters, as he was a consistent presence atop their batting order.
Now, Arraez, a four-time All-Star, joins Philadelphia and is expected to provide a massive boost down the stretch. Here's a look at the Phillies' projected starting lineup.
No. 1: Luis Arraez
No. 2: Trea Turner
No. 3: Kyle Schwarber
No. 4: Bryce Harper
No. 5: Alec Bohm
No. 6: Brandon Marsh
No. 7: J.T. Realmuto
No. 8: Justin Crawford
No. 9: Bryan De La Cruz
