Signs minor-league deal with Phillies
Amarista signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Monday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.
ANALYSIS
Amarista spent the spring in camp with the Tigers but failed to earn a spot on the team. The 28-year-old has a good deal of positional flexibility, having played everywhere except catcher and first base in his seven-year major-league career, though according to UZR he only grades out positively at third base and left field. Combined with a career .231/.275/.323 slash line, that makes Amarista little more than minor-league depth. He could earn a brief call-up at some point again this season but is unlikely to be much of a fantasy asset even if he ends up with unexpected playing time.

Amarista had a rough 2018 campaign, to put it nicely. After playing almost exclusively in the majors each year since 2013, the “Little Ninja” had to settle for a minor-league contract with the Tigers. He failed to make the big-league roster out of camp and was granted his release, eventually latching on with the Phillies on another minor-league deal. He spent a good portion of the season with their Triple-A affiliate, producing just a .573 OPS with two steals. He ultimately was released by Philadelphia as well, forcing him to finish the season in the Mexican League. Amarista’s lack of success in the minors in 2018 hardly makes him an appealing commodity in free agency this winter, even with his defensive versatility. His time in affiliated baseball may be done.
