Outfielder Max Kepler and the Phillies are in agreement on a one-year, $10 million contract, sources told ESPN, as Philadelphia adds a corner outfielder to its offensive mix as it looks to retool after a disappointing exit in the NL Division Series.
Kepler, 31, spent the first 10 years of his career with the Minnesota Twins, tantalizing with physical tools and providing solid defense. Over the last decade, Kepler has hit .237/.318/.429 with 161 home runs and 508 RBIs in 1,072 games.
The deal, which is pending a physical, was first reported by MLB.
