The Philadelphia Phillies have added some well-known free-agents with star power in recent weeks, such as right-handed reliever Archie Bradley and catcher J.T. Realmuto.
Yet, slightly more than a day after adding “the best catcher in baseball,” the organization released the son of 2002 American League Most Valuable Player, two-time Silver Slugger Award winner, and six-time All-Star — 16-year veteran infielder Miguel Tejada.
Coincidentally, Tejada’s son originally sighed with the Phillies just hours after they officially inked star outfielder Bryce Harper to a then-record 13-year, $330 million contract.
