Phillies add White Sox LHP Tanner Banks, ship Gregory Soto to O’s

Tanner Banks

The Philadelphia Phillies modified their bullpen during Tuesday’s trade deadline by acquiring left-hander Tanner Banks from the Chicago White Sox and sending fellow lefty Gregory Soto to the Baltimore Orioles.

Philadelphia traded away minor league infielder William Bergolla in the Chicago deal and acquired right-handed pitching prospects Seth Johnson and Moises Chace in the Baltimore swap.

Banks, 32, is 2-2 with a 4.13 ERA across 41 appearances (one start) for the White Sox this season. He has converted two out of six save opportunities and tallied 55 strikeouts against 15 walks over 48 innings.

The southpaw is especially effective against left-handed hitters, holding them to a .184 average and a .492 OPS this season. He has struck out more than a third (28) of the 83 left-handed batters he has faced this season.

A three-year veteran, Banks is 5-6 with a 3.89 ERA over 108 career games (four starts), all with Chicago.

The 19-year-old Bergolla batted .295 with one home run and 29 RBIs in 67 games this season for High-A Jersey Shore.

Soto, 29, went 2-4 with a 4.08 ERA in 43 relief appearances for the Phillies this season. He is 13-28 all-time with a 4.23 ERA in six seasons for the Detroit Tigers (2019-22) and Phillies (2023-24).

Johnson, 25, is 0-6 with a 2.63 ERA in 18 starts this season at Double-A Bowie. Chace, 21, is 2-2 with a 3.46 ERA in 17 games (nine starts) for High-A Aberdeen.
