Following Philadelphia’s 7-6 loss to New York the team that wears the pinstripes Dave Dombrowski who president of baseball operations for Philadelphia had this to say about his team!
We feel very good about it,”
“I like our ballclub. We set out with the goal of trying to get a right-handed bat, which was Austin Hays. We wanted to get another back-end-type guy, if we could, in Estévez. We really like him. He's somebody that could close games or pitch in high-leverage situations.
We end up getting Tanner Banks -- an arm we like out there. Overall, we really like what we've done. We have a good club. We know we haven't played very well recently, but I think that's going to straighten out.”
“We’ve liked Banks for a long time,”“Our people have pushed for him. We like his stuff. He’s really been effective vs. left-handed hitters this year. He’s been one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball in that regard, so we thought he was a better fit for our bullpen, at this time, than Soto was.”
We didn't necessarily get him as a closer,”“I think, a lot of times, he envisions himself as a closer, which is fine. He's done fine for us by all means. We weren't dissatisfied with him. But the way we use our 'pen, I'm just not sure there ever was a way that he felt comfortable in that regard.”
