"Phillies Make Moves: Trade, Extension, and Roster Set for Opening Day"

The Philadelphia Phillies had a busy Sunday, trading Jake Cave to the Rockies for cash considerations, extending Matt Strahm's contract through 2025 with a club/vesting option for 2026, and reassigning Andrew Bellatti and Jose Ruiz to minor-league camp. The moves provide more clarity for the Opening Day roster, likely leading to Johan Rojas and Cristian Pache making the team. The trade of Cave, who was out of options, ensures the Phillies don't lose him for nothing, while the team's bench may skew right-handed with limited lefty options. The pitching staff also appears to be solidified, with the Strahm extension reportedly worth $7.5 million in 2025 and 2026.

"Phillies Make Moves: Cave Traded, Strahm Extended in Busy Sunday"

The Colorado Rockies are set to acquire first baseman/outfielder Jake Cave from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for cash. Cave, a 31-year-old veteran, is expected to fill a bench role with the Rockies, providing a left-handed complement to the team's righty outfielders and offering an alternative at first base. Despite a subpar 2023 season with the Phillies, the Rockies are hopeful that Cave can bounce back to his previous form and contribute effectively in a bench role.

"Jake Cave's Triple-A Dominance Puts Pressure on Phillies"

Outfielder Jake Cave has been on a hot streak since being demoted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs by the Philadelphia Phillies in May. In 21 games, Cave has a .437/.524/.862 slash line with seven home runs, 16 doubles, and 22 RBIs. Although there is no clear opening for him in Philadelphia, if he continues to produce at this level, he could earn another opportunity in the majors.

"Phillies Dominate Marlins with 15-3 Victory"
