Phils swap Polanco for Urbina, Martinez Urbina, 31, has a 1-3 record and 2.63 ERA in 25 games. The Phillies, in the thick of the hotly contested NL East pennant race, made a major move to bolster their bullpen on Wednesday when they acquired veteran right-handed Ugueth Urbina in a three-player trade with the Detroit Tigers. The Phillies also received infielder Ramon Martinez in the deal, with veteran infielder Placido Polanco going to Detroit. "Urbina is a quality relief pitcher who gives us depth on a key part of our club," said general manager Ed Wade. "He's pitched on a championship team and can pitch effectively in tight situations. Adding him to the back end of the bullpen with Rheal Cormier, Ryan Madson and Billy Wagner gives us one more strong piece at the end of games."
