Phillies moving Bryce Harper to right field following Luis Arraez trade

Bryce Harper is moving back to the outfield after the Phillies acquired three-time batting champion Luis Arraez in a trade with the Giants.

The Giants did very well in this Luis Arraez trade, all thanks to one prospect.

Since the beginning of time, it seems, the Phillies have been searching for a right-handed outfielder come deadline time. Arraez, a lefty infielder, is neither of those things, but he’s good enough with the stick that the defensive fit is a secondary concern.
