Phillies Get Lidge

Interesting News today the Phillies went out and got a Closer in a 5 player trade with the Houston AStros. The Phillies got lidge in the deal. Lidge has went from being one of the best to one of the worst quickly but Houston has the guys in the bullpen to do this type of trade. I think it works out well for both teams.

Philadelphia Phillies have acquired CL Brad Lidge from the Houston Astros in a five-player trade.

The Astros received OF Michael Bourn, pitcher Geoff Geary and 3B Mike Costanzo. In addition to Lidge, the Phillies also acquired IF Eric Bruntlett from the Astros.
