The Phillies have made their second splash of the offseason by signing shortstop Didi Gregorius, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post and MLB Network.
Sherman reports the deal is for one year worth $14 million, which takes a large sum of the Phillies remaining payroll without hitting the luxury tax.
On Tuesday morning Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic and MLB Network reported that Gregorius was open to a one-year deal and that a one-year deal was “likely.”
The Phillies, Milwaukee Brewers, Cincinnati Reds, and New York Yankees all had some level of interest, according to multiple reports throughout the offseason.
