Jeff Conine was traded to Philadelphia from the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday, a deal that provides the Phillies with a solid right-handed bat and veteran leadership in their drive to earn a wild-card berth.
The Orioles sent Conine and cash to Philadelphia for a player to be named. The deal was completed during the seventh inning of Baltimore's 5-4 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.
The trade was not announced until after the Orioles' game, and Conine found out about it when he walked off the field.
