Marlins Acquire Tyler Phillips

By Steve Adams | March 26, 2025 at 1:42pm CDT

1:42pm: The Phillies announced that Phillips was traded to the Marlins for cash.

11:31am: The Marlins are set to acquire righty Tyler Phillips from the division-rival Phillies, reports Robert Murray of Fansided. Philadelphia designated Phillips for assignment on Sunday. It’s not clear if Miami has agreed to a small trade or is simply claiming the right-hander off waivers, but he’ll join the Marlins’ big league roster either way, as he’s out of minor league options.

Phillips, 27, made his MLB debut with the Phillies last year, appearing in eight games (seven starts) and logging a 6.87 ERA in 36 2/3 innings. He averaged 93.7 mph on his sinker, fanned 17.5% of his opponents, issued walks at a minuscule 4.4% clip and kept a solid 42.3% of his batted balls on the ground. He’s whiffed 14 of the 50 hitters he’s faced this spring (28%) and notched a massive 63% ground-ball rate, but he’s also been tagged for nine runs and walked seven batters in 10 2/3 innings.

Though Phillips had a tough first look in the majors and a shaky 5.08 ERA in Triple-A, he’ll come to the Marlins having logged 122 2/3 minor league innings in 2023 and 155 1/3 innings between Triple-A and the big leagues last year. For a Marlins club that has seen a large swath of injuries this spring, he’ll add some needed rotation depth and a potential long man in the bullpen.

Miami lost Braxton Garrett to UCL surgery early in camp. Ryan Weathers went down with a forearm strain just last week. Edward Cabrera struggled in camp while pitching through a series of blisters on his right hand. Ballyhooed prospect Eury Perez is still on the mend from last April’s Tommy John surgery.

At present, the Marlins project to open with a rotation including Sandy Alcantara, Cal Quantrill, Max Meyer, Connor Gillispie and Valente Bellozo. The first three are locked into place, but neither Gillispie nor Bellozo has a long big league track record or Meyer’s prospect status. Phillips provides length in the ’pen and a possible alternative in the event that the Fish opt to send Gillispie or Bellozo to Triple-A Jacksonville for further minor league work.

      Really? How so? I don’t really see it making that big of a difference but you seem like an expert so I’ll trust you.

      He was a good, local boy Philly story for a few moments – wish him well.

      As much as I want my team to be able to hold onto depth and upside when possible, I still prefer the ability for the fringe and developmental guys to find roles elsewhere if it isn’t there on a better or deeper squad.

    Was hoping he made it through waivers and rejoined the Iron Pigs rotation behind Painter, Abel, Seth Johnson & Kyle Tyler. At least he went to a team where he’ll have an opportunity, hopefully the Phillies got back a lower minors piece to tinker with.

    This is actually a precursor move for later.
    Bear w/ me ’cause I am right….

    Phillips will get the lay of the land (sea?) in Florida. He’ll scope out his teammates, get a feel for the fans, take notes on the good ballpark eats etc etc.
    Phillips will scout the local talent and map out the hotspots for social interaction. Lastly he’ll find serviceable neighborhoods for the remainder of the season AND a spot w/ a 2yr lease for ….wait for it….

    The incoming deal for Taijuan Walker….. The Marlins get the player they desire (well to hit the bottom threshhold anyway) and Walker can hit the ground running as the #4 starter.

    Game, set match.
    Now on to another Troegs IPA!

    How is he out of options, if he just made his major league debut in ’24??

      I went on the MLB app and looked at his transaction history. Texas selected his contract in November 2019 putting him on the 40 man MLB roster. He was optioned in 2020 and 2021. After being designated for assignment several times the Phillies optioned him to the minors in 2024. So that’s 3 options. So that’s why he’s out of options

    Marlins are quietly stockpiling pitching depth before demand skyrockets later in the season.
