The Phillies search for a left handed bat off the bench has apparently ended as Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports that the team has acquired 40 year old first basemen/outfielder Matt Stairs from Toronto for a player to be named later. Stairs has 11 homers and 44 RBI’s thus far this season. He is a good hitter that should help fill the bench void. Stairs is a native of Canada and had hoped to end his career as a Blue Jay. Hopefully he can help his new team, the Phillies, reach the playoffs! Now all we need is a set up man, Brian Fuentes anyone ?
