Phillies Trade Bedrosian and Samuel in Two Major Moves
The Philadelphia Phillies, rebuilding after a poor on field season, traded reliever Steve Bedrosian to the San Francisco Giants for pitcher Dennis Cook, Terry Mulholland, and Charlie Hayes, and sent shortstop/second baseman Juan Samuel to the New York Mets for center fielder Len Dykstra, reliever Roger McDowell, and a player to be named later. Bedrosian brings proven closing ability, while Samuel is expected to boost the Mets infield and offense. The trades mark the Phillies’ third major overhaul in a month under GM Lee Thomas.
