According to reports, the Phillies outrighted Brandon Moss and Pete Orr to the IronPigs. Both are now eligible for free agency. Hopefully they’ll both be back!
OinK On!

The Phillies have a handful of young prospects (Aumont, Valle, etc.) who are not currently on the 40-man roster but will have to be added this year to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft. DFA’ing Moss and Orr and then outrighting them to the Ironpigs after they cleared waivers opens up 2 roster spots. Hopefully Moss & Orr both get re-signed.
Here is a link to a glossary of baseball terms that is absolutely essential for understanding baseball transactions. It will certainly come in handy during the hot stove season.

Let’s hope they sign ’em up quick! Their talent and experience were keys to the ‘Pigs successful season this year.
