Arraez is a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner, and won the batting title for three straight seasons from 2022-2024.
RHP Caleb Kilian will join Arraez in Philadelphia. He's posted a 4.26 ERA in 45 games with the Giants.
USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports the Phillies will send 4th-ranked prospect SP Ramon Marquez and RP Marty Gair to San Fran.
Phillies add Brooks Raley from rival Mets
In a separate trade deadline deal, the Phillies bolstered their bullpen in a rare trade with the rival New York Mets.
Left-handed reliever Brooks Raley will reportedly head to Philly in exchange John Spikerman and Luke Gabrysh.
Raley has a 1.96 ERA in over 40 innings pitched this season, with 40 strikeouts and just over a dozen walks.
Big picture view:
Arraez has played over 460 games at second base, but his versatility includes first base and third base.
It's unclear exactly how he will fit onto the Phillies roster, with Bryson Stott at second base, Alec Bohm at third, and Bryce Harper manning first.
Early reports indicate Harper will move to right field, Bohm will move to first base and Stott will play third base, clearing the way for Arraez at second base.
