Luis Arraez posted an Instagram goodbye after San Francisco traded the 2026 All-Star infielder to Philadelphia on Monday, calling it "time for a new chapter in Philadelphia."
The Phillies said they acquired Arraez and right-hander Caleb Kilian from the Giants in exchange for minor league pitchers Ramon Marquez and Marty Gair.
Arraez leaves in the middle of his first season with San Francisco, batting .324 with 136 hits, 4 home runs, 43 RBIs, 52 runs and 10 stolen bases in 105 games.
The move sends one of baseball's top contact hitters to Philadelphia as Arraez publicly thanked the Giants and their fans for welcoming him and his family.
