Traded Johnson for him....

The Phillies traded reliever Gregory Soto to the Orioles, reports Jim Salisbury (on X). Pitching prospect Seth Johnson is going to Philadelphia, reports Kiley McDaniel of ESPN (X link).

He is left handed. Is he any good?

[Keygans]

Ok THIS is a great move. 

[fansince71]

How are we making room for these guys?

This might be a very good move.

Love this move 

Philly had so much depth in their bullpen they could afford this. He’s legit good and most never brought him up as no one thought Philly would continue to deal from their major league roster.

[Sammy Seagull]

this move makes the day worth living.

Gonna miss Seth Johnson. Soto can be a mess with his control. But when he’s on, he can be very good.

I'm not saying he's bad, far from that.  I'm just saying if this is the best reliever we got at the deadline, that's not good enough.

Honestly, this is a fantastic trade. No complaints from me.
