One of the minor signings the Phillies made during the offseason was bringing in veteran outfielder Daniel Nava. He was productive for a couple seasons in Boston before bouncing around the league during 2015 and 2016. Nava came into camp as a non-roster invitee, but he wasn’t expected to find a spot on the team.
However, Nava managed to find a spot on the roster, beating out Chris Coghlan for the fifth outfielder’s role. It was somewhat of a surprise considering Coghlan’s versatility as an infielder and outfielder.
