The Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> just picked up one of the most versatile free agents available.<\/p>\n

On Friday, they signed Dylan Moore to a minor league contract with an invite to spring training, according to The Athletic’s Will Sammon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Sammon, Moore “can make up to $3.25 million with plate appearance and active roster bonuses.”<\/p>\n

Moore was a Gold Glove winner in 2024 as the American League’s top utility defender while playing for the Seattle Mariners<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He has played all but 18 of his MLB games with Seattle. He closed out the 2025 season with the Texas Rangers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moore’s defense is his calling card. The 33-year old can play all over the outfield, and he also plays up the middle at second base and shortstop.<\/p>\n

In 2025, he found himself in a rut at the plate with the Mariners, batting just .193 before he was moved to the Rangers, for whom he hit .259 in 18 games.<\/p>\n

Moore is a career .206 hitter, a much better swing from his right side against left-handed pitching.<\/p>\n

He did have an OPS of .855 in 2020, then .753 in 2022 and .731 in 2023. There is an ability to make a difference with the bat from Moore, if he can recapture some of that past swing.<\/p>\n

The Phillies will likely find a use for him at least at some point thanks to that multi-faceted defensive skillset, so it’s not a bad signing as the spring approaches.<\/p>\n
