“Whenever you make a splash for a high-caliber player, that means something,” Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber told reporters, according to MLB.com “Personally, I remember ‘16 when [the Cubs] traded for Aroldis Chapman. It just kind of lifted the spirits of everyone. And I feel like that’s going to be the same thing.”

CHICAGO — The Phillies acquired Jhoan Duran Wednesday, trading two top prospects to the Minnesota Twins for the hard-throwing reliever. Duran has 16 saves and a 2.01 ERA in 49 appearances this season, striking out 53 in 49 1/3 innings. He has limited opponents to a slash line of .219/.296/.257 this season.

Derek Falvey has been floating Jhoan Duran in trade talks as the trade deadline has draw closer. The Philadelphia Phillies were among the most interested teams and the Twins had talked about prospect Andrew Painter. They didn’t land him, but got a deal done anyways.
