Phillies agree to 1-year deal with SS Didi Gregorius
The Philadelphia Phillies have reached agreement with former New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius on a one-year deal for $14 million.
Gregorius, who turns 30 in February, came back from Tommy John surgery in early June and hit .238 with 16 homers and 61 RBIs in 82 games.
From 2016 to '18, Gregorius averaged more than 20 home runs per season, and he broke his club record for home runs by a shortstop with 27 in 2018. He drove in a career-high 87 runs in 2017 and 86 the next year.
The Yankees acquired Gregorius in the 2014 three-way trade that saw Robbie Ray end up in Arizona and Shane Greene in Detroit.
