The Phillies signed Cuban outfielder Osemel Aguila to a minor league contract today. The 26-year-old outfielder signed a $100,000 contract with the team in March, but immigration papers and documentation held up the deal.
Phillies signed Cuban OF Osmel Aguila to a minor-league deal. Reported today to ext. spring. Should then go to AAA. Could be a depth piece.
