PHILADELPHIA — As a kid, Luis Arraez hated striking out so much he used to cry afterward. As he grew up and became a professional, the tears abated. But the hatred never did. So it’s a good thing that he has just a 4.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher raves about the organization's trade for infielder Luis Arraez before the deadline.

The Philadelphia Phillies agreed to trade for San Francisco Giants All-Star second baseman Luis Arraez, a league source told UPI on Monday.

The Philadelphia Phillies acquired second baseman Luis Arráez and right-handed pitcher Caleb Kilian from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for right-handed pitchers Ramon Marquez and Marty Gair.

The Phillies turned to an outside-the-box-solution to upgrade their offense by landing second baseman Luis Arraez in a deal with the Giants.

Luis Arraez is a candidate to be moved at the MLB trade deadline, and the San Francisco Giants are looking for something of value in return.

The Philadelphia Phillies made some moves at the MLB trade deadline on Aug. 3, acquiring San Francisco second baseman Luis Arraez and reliever Caleb Kilian, and New York Mets reliever Brooks Raley.

Arraez boosts a Phillies offense that has been taking on water, while the Giants get two pitchers with upside.

As the Phillies prepare to welcome infielder Luis Arraez to their lineup, Don Mattingly has some lineup decisions to make.
