A former Philadelphia Phillies first baseman is back on the open market after a tough season in the minor leagues.
Darick Hall was released last week by the Pittsburgh Pirates organization, a big setback in his attempt to make his way back to the major league level for the first time in two years. The 30-year-old first baseman hit just .202 this season with four home runs and 24 RBIs in 59 games in the minors after signing a contract with the Pirates in December.
