The international hot stove is scalding hot.
Former Philadelphia Phillies slugger Justin Bour has signed with the Mexico City Red Devils for the 2022 season.
Now 33, Bour was acquired in a waiver trade from the division-rival Miami Marlins in August of 2018, as the Phillies attempted to reach the postseason for the first time since 2011. Instead, Bour posted just a .643 OPS in 29 games for the Phillies, as the team collapsed in the final six weeks of the season.
Of course, Bour’s presence on the team allowed then-manager Gabe Kapler to put together an infamous lineup that essentially included five first basemen on Sept.
