Three summers ago, Domonic Brown represented the Phillies and the National League in Major League Baseball's All-Star Game at Citi Field.
On Monday, after none of baseball's other 29 teams deemed him worthy of a waiver claim, the Phillies removed Brown outright from their 40-man roster.
Brown, one of the biggest prospect busts in recent years, can elect free agency immediately and is expected to do so in the coming days. The oft-maligned 28-year-old outfielder was set to be arbitration eligible for a second time this winter. He made $2.6 million this season.
Brown will be remembered most for the vast potential he never reached, save for a torrid six-week stretch in the first half of 2013.
