Phillies Acquire Corey Oswalt From Giants

By Mark Polishuk | May 10, 2022 at 10:45am CDT

The Phillies have acquired right-hander Corey Oswalt in a trade with the Giants, as noted by Oswalt’s MLB.com profile page on May 8 (hat tip to The Morning Call’s Tom Housenick).  Oswalt has been assigned to the Phillies’ Triple-A affiliate in Lehigh Valley.

San Francisco inked Oswalt to a minor league deal back in January, after the righty opted for free agency when the Mets outrighted him off their 40-man roster following the season.  Though he has a respectable 28.3% strikeout rate and 8.3% walk rate with Triple-A Sacramento this season, Oswalt has an ungainly 7.11 thanks in large part to six home runs over 12 2/3 innings.

This work with the Giants’ Triple-A affiliate represents Oswalt’s first pro action outside of the Mets organization.  A seventh-round pick for New York back in 2012, Oswalt has appeared in each of the last four Major League seasons, though only 30 of his 94 2/3 career innings have come since the end of the 2018 campaign.  He has a 5.89 ERA as a big leaguer, with a 17.2K% and 7.3BB%, getting work as a starter and (more recently) as a multi-inning reliever or swingman.

The Phillies got a good look at Oswalt during his time with the Mets, and now they’ll see what he can do as an extra arm on the depth chart.  Considering that both Zack Wheeler and Zach Eflin are both on the COVID-related injury list, the Phils might turn to Oswalt for a spot start (or maybe in a piggyback or bulk pitcher role) as they try to figure out their rotation mix for the near future.

    If he had faced the Mets as a Phillie, he’d have thrown a perfect game…

    With 2 starters out with Covid and the hardest May schedule in all of baseball, the Phillies season can end really early. Hold on to your butts.

    Good memories from last time there was someone named Oswalt on the mound for the Phillies.

      Yes, the Giants have fond memories of those days as well.

    AAA numbers out of Sacramento are not the most reliable. It’s an extreme hitter’s environment. Oswalt should do fine in Philly.

      Philly is a bandbox, but Oswalt is likely only with the team for this west coast trip.

    They would be better off signing Roy Oswalt even if hes been retired for 10 years.

      Maybe, but Patton sometimes makes me laugh. Can we count on the return to do the same?

    I know that AAA games are played in an extreme hitters environment, but still…. 6 homers allowed in 12+ innings is “impressive”. At least he’s around the plate a lot, I guess.

      Seems like he’d fit right in sadly.

    One can’t overlook that the Phillies farm system is going to take YEARS to rebuild. It’s bereft off any serious talent. Matt Klintak destroyed this organization. Funny though how the Phillies still love talking about the glory days of 2008 and 2009. 13 years ago. Sad.

      In the early 2000s, everyone was talking about 1993. In the 90s everyone was talking about 1980. This franchise has had it rough outside of a few blips.

    Four of the nine hits he has given up in 6 innings at CitizensBank Park have gone for homers. Pitch him only on the road.

    It reminds me of when the Mets traded FOR Pete Falcone when he was 0-9 against them. What are they thinking of?

      2 or their starters are out with Covid. They need major league arms to pitch during this difficult road trip. Phillies are likely going to be toast before the end of May. Sad state of affairs, but here’s hoping they turn it around.
