Philadelphia Phillies general manager Matt Klentak didn’t say Thursday morning that former All-Star outfielder Odubel Herrera will never play for the team again. He didn’t mince words, though – the odds are stacked against Herrera.

The 28-year-old outfielder is in Clearwater, but he isn’t getting set to join all Phillies position players at major league camp this Sunday. Instead, he’ll report to minor league camp after the Phillies designated him for assignment and he cleared waivers in January.

Last Memorial Day, Herrera was arrested for a domestic incident with his girlfriend, and ultimately suspended for the remainder of the 2019 season.
