The Philadelphia Phillies are beginning to trim down their roster this spring for the upcoming Major League season. While most roster spots are set, there is one bench spot up for grabs this spring.

While there’s some debate about which player will earn that final bench spot, one of the names in the mix is a former Seattle Mariners versatile infielder/outfielder who once won a Gold Glove award and is fighting for a roster spot.

However, as The Athletic’s Will Sammon reports, the Phillies have 48 hours to make a decision on this Gold Glove, Dylan Moore, thanks to a contract opt-out clause that gives the Phillies two days to decide on Moore’s future with the team.

Phillies have 48 hours to make Dylan Moore MLB roster decision

“Veteran INFer/OFer Dylan Moore is triggering his opt-out clause, league sources said,” Sammon reports. “The Phillies will have 48 hours to add him to the 40-man roster. Otherwise, he is set to be a free agent on Saturday. Clubs with injury concerns like Astros, Mets, Orioles could show interest.”

The Phillies need to decide if keeping Moore, the 33-year-old versatile former Gold Glove winner, will be worth it or not in the next 48 hours.

This interesting contract clause makes it so that the Phillies need to make a decision in the next two days; otherwise, Moore will hit free agency.

But the Phillies could decide to give Moore a roster spot on their initial 26-man Opening Day roster this year. If they do make such a decision, Moore wouldn’t become a free agent.

While this decision will be a fascinating one for the Phillies, does Moore deserve a spot on the Major League roster?

This spring, through 31 at-bats, Moore has a .226 batting average with a .582 OPS. He has six RBIs, two stolen bases, one double, and eight strikeouts.

While Moore has a .693 OPS across a seven-year Major League career, and he’s been a good player at times, his production this spring hasn’t been enough to justify keeping him on the MLB roster.

Dave Dombrowski and Rob Thomson have other options for the final bench spot, like Bryan De La Cruz, Garrett Stubbs, and Liover Peguero. Cruz, who is hitting .324 this spring, might be the Phillies’ best option instead of Moore.

This decision will be an interesting one for the Phillies. They have 48 hours to respond to Moore’s opt-out clause triggering, as the former Gold Glove award winner will have his Phillies roster status known soon.
