Luis Arraez is officially headed to Philadelphia, and the San Francisco Giants may have landed one of the best pitching prospects moved at this year's trade deadline.
Buster Posey sent Arraez and Caleb Kilian to the Phillies in exchange for 20-year-old right-hander Ramon Marquez and reliever Marty Gair.

We'll also discuss Caleb Kilian's inclusion in the deal, how this trade fits the Giants' long-term pitching strategy, and what it signals about Buster Posey's approach to his first trade deadline running baseball operations.
Finally, with Robbie Ray, Heliot Ramos and other Giants still drawing interest, we look at what could happen next before the deadline expires.
