Blanton Traded to Dodgers

As reported on Twitter by our own Pat Gallen, The Phillies have made another trade, this time sending Joe Blanton to the Dodgers for cash OR a player to be named later. Ruben Amaro Jr. implied that the Phillies are hoping to take the player over the cash, and that the Phils are still making moves.

Taking Blanton’s spot on the roster will be B.J. Rosenberg, who was brought up from AAA Lehigh Valley. Kyle Kendrick will start in place on Blanton tonight.
