The Philadelphia Phillies acquired hard-throwing reliever Jhoan Dur\u00e1n<\/a> while identical twin relievers Tyler and Taylor Rogers got dealt on the same day, signaling that teams are willing to pay a hefty price for bullpen help as the Major League Baseball trade deadline approaches on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Dur\u00e1n is arguably the best player to switch teams over the past few days. He has a 2.01 ERA and 16 saves this season, striking out 53 over 49 1\/3 innings for the Minnesota Twins. The Phillies gave up two top prospects, catcher Eduardo Tait and right-hander Mick Abel.<\/p>\n

Tyler Rogers and Ryan Helsley are headed to the New York Mets<\/a>, who are fighting for first place in the NL East with the Phillies. The accomplished relievers join Edwin D\u00edaz in the bullpen to give the Mets multiple late-inning options.<\/p>\n

The durable Rogers \u2014 who has a distinctive submarine delivery \u2014 has made 53 appearances this season with a 1.80 ERA, four walks and 38 strikeouts for the San Francisco Giants. The Mets sent the Giants right-handers Jos\u00e9 Butt\u00f3 and Blade Tidwell, along with outfielder Drew Gilbert.<\/p>\n

Helsley has a 3.00 ERA, 21 saves and 41 strikeouts over 36 innings this year for the St. Louis Cardinals, where he\u2019s spent the past seven seasons. New York dealt St. Louis three minor leaguers, including infielder Jesus Baez and right-handers Nate Dohm and Frank Elissalt. <\/p>\n

Many of the trade deadline\u2019s biggest prizes remained on the market, setting up a potentially fascinating 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Arizona third baseman Eugenio Su\u00e1rez, Pittsburgh right-hander Mitch Keller and Cleveland outfielder Steven Kwan were among the potential season-altering additions that teams were pursuing<\/a> ahead of Thursday\u2019s 6 p.m. EDT deadline.<\/p>\n

In other moves Wednesday, the New York Yankees added veteran outfielder Austin Slater and the Cincinnati Reds acquired Gold Glove third baseman Ke\u2019Bryan Hayes.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old Slater gives the Yankees a dependable right-handed batter<\/a> for the final two months of the season. He\u2019s hit .236 with five homers and 11 RBIs in 51 games with the White Sox this season and has an .859 OPS against left-handed pitching.<\/p>\n

\u201cReally excited about the move,\u201d Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. \u201cTalked about it over the recent weeks \u2014 just getting more roster flexibility, complementary guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

The White Sox acquired minor league pitching prospect Gage Ziehl in the trade.<\/p>\n

The Reds acquired Hayes from the Pirates<\/a> in exchange for Taylor Rogers, who unlike his brother throws lefty \u2014 and overhand. Pittsburgh also got shortstop prospect Sammy Stafura and cash from Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

The swap gives the Reds an elite defender at third with a manageable contract. The 28-year-old Hayes, a Gold Glove winner in 2023, has four-plus years left on the extension he signed<\/a> with Pittsburgh in 2022. <\/p>\n

He will make $7 million in 2026 and 2027 and $8 million in 2028 and 2029, with a club option for $12 million in 2030. He\u2019s hitting .236 with two home runs and 36 RBIs this season.<\/p>\n

Su\u00e1rez returned to the Diamondbacks\u2019 lineup on Wednesday and went 1 for 4, two days after an injury scare. The slugger \u2014 who has 36 homers this season \u2014 was hit on the right index finger by a pitch against the Detroit Tigers on Monday.<\/p>\n

The D-backs have turned into sellers at the deadline after dropping eight of their last nine games and falling to 51-58. Right-handed pitchers Merrill Kelly and Zac Gallen are among the other Arizona players who could be dealt.<\/p>\n

In other moves on Wednesday:<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Los Angeles Angels acquired relievers Andrew Chafin and Luis Garc\u00eda from the Washington Nationals for left-hander Jake Eder and minor league first baseman Sam Brown.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Atlanta Braves acquired veteran reliever Tyler Kinley from the Colorado Rockies for minor league pitcher Austin Smith.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Seattle Mariners agreed to add left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson from the Pittsburgh Pirates, giving their bullpen another arm as they make a playoff push. The Pirates received right-handed pitching prospect Jeter Martinez.<\/p>\n
