Case closed. Less than 24 hours before the trade deadline, the Phillies got their closer, agreeing on a deal for Jhoan Duran from the Twins on Wednesday evening. As expected, the cost was steep: right-hander Mick Abel and teenage catching prospect Eduardo Tait.

Duran was originally signed by the Diamondbacks as an international free agent in December 2014 and ended up with the Twins as part of the deal that sent Eduardo Escobar to Arizona before the 2018 trade deadline. Ironically, an hour before he was traded, Duran had addressed the idea of being dealt, according to The Athletic.

The Phillies are planning to make another move before the trade deadline after acquiring Jhoan Duran from the Twins.
