PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — New Philadelphia Phillies manager Joe Girardi will have a familiar face on his squad. According to multiple reports, the Phillies have signed former New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius to a one-year deal.

Gregorius will most likely play short while Jean Segura slides over to second after the Phillies non-tendered Cesar Hernandez. Super-utility guy Scott Kingery will most likely open the season at third with Maikel Franco out of the picture.
This signing should take the Phillies out of the Anthony Rendon sweepstakes.
