Arraez headed to Phillies, will play second base
Despite saying at the All-Star Game he didn't want to change positions with a new team, Arraez will man second base in Philadelphia.
Luis Arraez is set to join the Philadelphia Phillies, according to a source cited by MLB reporter Mark Feinsand. Arraez will play second base for his new club. This marks a reversal from his public stance at the All-Star Game, where he indicated he did not want to switch positions upon joining a new organization. The report is sourced but not yet an official team announcement.
