Per multiple sources, it has been confirmed that relief pitcher Michael Schwimer has been traded to the Toronto Blue Jays for minor league first baseman Art Charles.

Schwimer, scheduled to pitch in today's spring training game against the Astros, packed his bag after the game upon hearing the news. 

Art Charles, drafted by the Orioles in the 38th round of the 2008 draft, is a 6'6" first baseman with one year of minor league service at the age of 22. 

We wish the best to Schwim in Canada, and we welcome Art to the Phillies' organization.
