Although the baseball season is currently on hiatus, the Philadelphia Phillies did reportedly make a move this weekend.

According to Ben Badler of Baseball America, the team has signed international prospect Yhoswar Garcia, a center fielder from Venezuela. Garcia and the Phillies were expected to reach a deal this past July, but that was delayed after some issues regarding the outfielder’s age. Garcia became eligible in March, and the two sides were able to make an agreement.
