Richards had a 2.08 ERA in two games for the Phillies this season.
Here’s what people were saying about the news on social media:
@Sean_W_Anderson: “This will be Trevor Richards 9TH TEAM! I love these types of players.”
@iipacket: “Not a terrible move with our farm in a flux with injuries rn”
@NotCease: “Veteran bullpen arm who hasn’t had much MLB work since 2024, but has a good FF/CH combo. 20” of IVB on his fastball, and a changeup with splitter movement. Wonder if there’s a slider in the bag, that would really help.”
@AdrianWhiteSox: “Trevor Richards’ 2026 numbers before joining the #WhiteSox: MLB: 4.1 IP | 2.08 ERA | 5 K AAA: 14.0 IP | 1.93 ERA | 0.57 WHIP | .106 AVG | 26 K 16.71 K/9 in nine appearances with @IronPigs”
