Phillies trade for Mariners’ Jay Bruce in an effort to end their power shortage

Bruce joins the Phillies in exchange for 23-year-old high-A prospect Jake Scheiner. "I get to go somewhere I have a chance to win, and at this point in my career, that’s pretty paramount for me.”

Former All-Star outfielder Jay Bruce says he has been traded to the Phillies by the Seattle Mariners, a deal that will cost the Phillies just $2.75 million over the next 1 1/2 seasons.
