Phillies sign Grady Sizemore

Grady Sizemore Red Sox

Released by the Red Sox last week, outfielder Grady Sizemore has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Phillies.

Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports that Sizemore will be assigned to Triple-A, where he hasn’t played regularly since 2004 as a 21-year-old top prospect for the Indians.

Sizemore’s comeback with the Red Sox got off to a great start, but then he went through a two-month stretch hitting .187 with zero homers and a .530 OPS in 43 games.

He hasn’t been healthy and effective since 2009, so the odds of Sizemore making a positive impact in Philadelphia aren’t very high, but it’s possible he could represent an alternative to the struggling Domonic Brown at some point or simply take on a part-time role.
