It's a done deal.
Jay Bruce confirmed Sunday that he's been traded to the Phillies and said he will join his new team in San Diego on Monday.
The trade still hasn't officially been announced yet, but it's only a matter of time. Bruce had hoped to join the Phils in Los Angeles on Sunday but said that the logistics didn't work out. He's in line to receive regular starts against righties in left field for Philly.

My guess would be no more than a few starts a week with a NL team...he's not replacing Hoskins, he's not replacing either Harper or McCutcheon, and at this point, I doubt that he moves Kingery out of the line-up, depending on what happens to Herrera.
It looks like Bruce will play LF against RHP, Kingery will play CF against LHP, and Kingery likely steals some playing time from Franco at 3B.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

ETA:
Actually, it's the other way around...Seattle is paying almost ALL of the remaining 21 million on Bruce's contract...
The boxes were stacked and taped up around his locker. The last remaining detail for Jay Bruce was packing up his essential gear that he would need tomorrow in San Diego. He carefully filled his equipment bag with an assortment of black Rawlings gloves and other essential gear. Some of the stuff like batters gloves and cleats weren’t needed since his new team wears slightly different colors than the Mariners.
About 24 hours after rumors of the potential deal surfaced on Twitter, the Mariners officially announced that Bruce had been traded to Philadelphia along with cash consideration in exchange for minor league infielder Jake Scheiner. The Mariners are reportedly sending almost $18 million to the Phillies to offset some of the $21.6 million that Bruce was owed for the remainder of this season and next season.Last edited by Hornsby; 06-02-2019, 06:39 PM."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

just spent my entire season's 50 FAAB and got him tonight.
I was about 6th in those rankings, and Bruce replaces Beaty, who replaces Nick Williams.
if I had:
6 more HR, then 4 more points
10 more RBI, then 4 more points
10 more R, then 4 more points
Bruce might be able to help me

definitely depends on category standings maximization. he looks like a perfect storm for me, however much he plays.
