US EditionPhillies Add Gold Glove Outfielder Harrison Bader From Twins for Two Prospects
PHILADELPHIA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 31 – The Phillies strengthen their roster with Bader, who is hitting .258 with 12 home runs this season, to bolster their offense and defense in a close National League race.
- On July 31, 2025, the Phillies acquired veteran outfielder Harrison Bader from the Twins, sending Hendry Mendez and Geremy Villoria in return.
- With a 61-47 record and after adding closer Jhoan Duran, Philadelphia seeks a right-handed bat in the NL wild-card race.
- Equipped with a gold-glove caliber glove, Harrison Bader, 31-year-old outfielder, slashed.258/.339/.439 with 12 home runs and 10 stolen bases in 2025.
- The move forces the Phillies to remove an outfielder, with Bader likely to take over center field where Brandon Marsh and Johan Rojas have split duties.
- Bader is playing under a one-year, $6.25 million contract that includes a $10 million mutual option for 2026, which could increase based on performance.
