Former Phillie Tommy Joseph waived in KBO

Earlier this week, former Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Hunter Pence made an improbable appearance on the American League All-Star roster, just months after he wasn’t offered a guaranteed major league contract. The man who once headlined the return that the Phillies got when they traded Pence in July of 2012 didn’t have quite as good of a week.

Tommy Joseph, a former top catching prospect, is currently playing in the Korean Baseball Organization. It appears he’ll be joining a new team soon, though, as Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.com reported that the LG Twins waived Joseph earlier this week after signing former major leaguer Carlos Peguero.
