Rest-of-Season Projections
Lands with indy ball club
Sweeney signed a contract Wednesday with the Kansas City Monarchs of the independent American Association.
ANALYSIS
Sweeney will stick around with the Monarchs for a second straight season after he slashed .262/.354/.484 with 19 home runs and 22 stolen bases across 444 plate appearances in 2021. The 31-year-old switch-hitting utility man previously appeared in 39 games in the majors with the Phillies and Blue Jays, but he's been out of affiliated ball since 2019. He'll likely first need to earn a minor-league contract and prove his worth at the Triple-A level before getting another look in the majors.

2016 Fantasy Outlook
The Phillies acquired Sweeney as part of the return from the Dodgers in the Chase Utley deal last August. He was called up immediately after the trade and saw most of his time in left field and at second base. He showed an excellent eye at the plate, but whiffed an unsightly 27.6% of the time. Sweeney does have good pop, but strikeouts have been an issue for him throughout most of his time in the minors. He should get a chance to compete for a bench job this spring, but a more likely scenario would have him back in the minors to start the year. His primary path to playing time this season may be at second base if Cesar Hernandez fails to impress.
