TRADE NEWS: PHILLIES SEND HUNTER PENCE TO GIANTS


(pictured, Hunter Pence acquired by SF Giants moments ago)

This trade has been floating around all day but BYB wanted to be sure it was confirmed before we posted it.  The Phillies, who traded Shane Victorino just a short time ago, have now traded outfielder Hunter Pence to the Giants.  The exact details of who the Phillies are getting in return are a bit fuzzy but SI's Jon Heyman tweets the deal will be a three-for-one, with the Phillies also getting right fielder Nate Schierholtz and perhaps a pitcher.

Pence batted .271, 17 HR's and 59 RBI for the Phillies this season.  He joined the Phillies one year ago in a trade with the Astros.

BYB will bring you all the latest today on this very busy MLB "holiday"!
