The Philadelphia Phillies added to their pitching depth earlier on Friday, signing 34-year-old veteran reliever Sean Burnett to a one-year pact. A few hours later, the team has reportedly reached an agreement on a minor league deal with veteran outfielder Daniel Nava.
Phillies signed OF Daniel Nava to a minor-league deal, according to a source. He could win a bench job in the spring. He turns 34 in Feb.

Nava started last season with the Angels, but was designated for assignment and traded to the Kansas City Royals, where he played just nine games. Between the Angels and the Royals, Nava hit just .223 with six doubles, a homer and 13 RBIs. It's been a while since he's been productive at the big league level. In 2013 with the Red Sox, he hit .303 with and 66 RBIs. He's hit just .208 since then. Nava is a career .262 hitter in the Major Leagues.
With Howie Kendrick and Odubel Herrera the two likely locks for the Phillies outfield in 2017, Nava is likely to compete for a platoon role or provide a veteran defensive option off of the bench. Both Roman Quinn and Aaron Altherr will be in the running for an outfield role while Nick Williams could also get a look during spring play.
