Free-agent outfielder Michael Saunders has agreed to a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Jon Heyman of Today's Knuckleball and Jim Salisbury of CSN Philly reported the news Monday.
Saunders picked a good time to become a free agent after his best season in Major League Baseball as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays. Last year marked the first time in his career that he played at least 140 games, with the offensive result showing he warranted the additional playing time that Blue Jays manager John Gibbons afforded him.
