Phillies acquire Jesus Luzardo in trade with Marlins

The Philadelphia Phillies have acquired Miami Marlins lefty Jesus Luzardo in a trade that involves prospects Starlyn Caba and Emaarion Boyd going to the Marlins, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic. The Phillies will also acquire a minor league catcher from Miami.

Philadelphia already boasts one of the best rotations in MLB and will only get stronger if Luzardo returns to his form from a couple years ago. Luzardo is set to slot in as the No. 5 starter in Philly behind Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola, Christopher Sanchez and Ranger Suarez.
