Earlier this morning they signed RHPs Aaron Cook and Juan Cruz to minor league deals and now there is a little more light being shed on second baseman Chase Utley's progress. In a report by CSN Philly's Jim Salisbury, Chase Utley is improving […]
Holy crap the Phillies have made a move. According to Fernando Ballesteros at the Mexican baseball magazine Puro Beisbol, the Phillies have signed 37-year-old Rodrigo Lopez to a minor league deal. Lopez, who is signing on for his second stint with the Phillies, last played for the team in 2009. (It is worth noting that it was […]
The Phillies continue to make small moves this offseason. Today they claimed LHP Mauricio Robles off of waivers from the Seattle Mariners. Robles, 23, has not seen any time in the big leagues, but has accumulated five years in the minors while splitting time between the Detroit Tigers' system and the Mariners' system.
