The Phillies have been looking for a right-handed-hitting outfielder for months. They got their man on Friday, when they acquired Austin Hays from the Orioles for Seranthony Domínguez and Cristian Pache.

First reactions following the deal?

Well, the Phillies didn’t give up a single prospect, meaning they still have plenty of quality players to deal to get a big bullpen arm.

By trading Domínguez, the Phillies opened the door to acquiring more than one bullpen arm for the stretch drive.

By acquiring Hays, Brandon Marsh could see more time in center field with Johan Rojas.

Ruben, Jim and Todd break down the Hays deal, and what might be coming next for Dave Dombrowski and the rest of the Phillies’ front office before Tuesday’s 6 p.m. ET trade deadline.
