After signing reliever Steve Geltz to a minor league deal the Phillies reportedly agreed to a minor league deal with third baseman Will Middlebrooks.
Middlebrooks was the Boston Red Sox number one overall prospect in 2011, and had a decent amount of success in his first two major league seasons with Boston. In his first 169 major league games Middlebrooks hit 32 home runs with a .254 batting average and a .756 OPS with the Red Sox while winning a World Series ring in 2013.
Little has gone well for Middlebrooks since his first two season, and he now joins his fifth organization in as many years.
