The Phillies acquired Pache from the Athletics on Wednesday in exchange for right-handed pitcher Billy Sullivan.

EDGE Analysis

Pache couldn't crack the Athletics' Opening Day roster, and since he had no minor-league options remaining, Oakland opted to cash him out for a minor-league relief prospect. The 24-year-old Pache has impressed with his defensive prowess, but he has hit just .156 with a .439 OPS over 155 career MLB games with Oakland and Atlanta. Pache will be a reclamation project for the Phillies, but he will at least provide some late-inning value because of his glove.
