Nava, 34, had a .393 on-base percentage, a .421 slugging percentage and a .301 average with the Philadelphia Phillies last year. He received only 214 plate appearances in 80 games because of four different trips to the disabled list, two because of a strained left hamstring and two because of a back strain.
