Phillies position players’ first spring training workout in Clearwater, Florida, is not for another two weeks, yet new shortstop Didi Gregorius is already hard at work. In fact, he has been there for weeks.
The Phillies signed the 29-year-old, eight-year veteran to a one-year, $14 million contract on December 13, hoping he can both upgrade the team’s offensive production from the infield and match his consecutive top-20 MVP finishes in 2017 and 2018.
