The Philadelphia Phillies are set to acquire outfielder Harrison Bader from the Minnesota Twins, multiple outlets reported Thursday.
The Twins are expected to receive an outfield prospect and pitching prospect in return, ESPN reported. Neither prospect was identified.
Bader, 31, is batting .258 with 12 home runs and 38 RBIs in 96 games this season, while playing all three outfield positions, including 70 games in left field.
The former Gold Glove Award winner in 2021 with the St. Louis Cardinals is a career .243 hitter with 83 home runs and 306 RBIs in 874 games with the Cardinals (2017-22), New York Yankees (2022-23), Cincinnati Reds (2023), New York Mets (2024) and Twins.
Bader is playing on a $4.75 million salary this season and has a $10 million mutual option for next season that includes a $1.5million buyout that can increase to as much as $3 million with escalating plate-appearance incentives.
The Phillies are a half-game behind the New York Mets in the National League East and currently occupy the second NL wild-card spot.
On Wednesday, Philadelphia acquired right-handed relief pitcher Jhoan Duran from the Minnesota Twins for right-hander Mick Abel and minor league catcher Eduardo Tait.
