In another move to make the roster younger and more dynamic while also maximizing the odds of ending a decade-long playoff drought, the Phillies released Didi Gregorius on Thursday.
, cleared out to make way for newly acquired Brandon Marsh and David Robertson, respectively.
Gregorius initially signed a one-year, $14 million contract with the Phillies and played well in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, batting .284/.339/.488 with 10 homers. But the Phillies followed up with a two-year, $28 million deal at a time when other free-agent shortstops were getting one-year contracts.
Hampered last year by multiple injuries, including an elbow issue that he said was misdiagnosed and required offseason surgery, Gregorius batted .209/.270/.370 with only 13 home runs.But with Stott, they had another option. A natural shortstop, Stott had been filling in for Segura at second base. Although his numbers are lacking , he has delivered several big hits, including a walkoff three-run homer June 5 against the Los Angeles Angels.
Gregorius is one hit shy of 1,000 for his career. In his final game with the Phillies, he went 1-for-4 . In a potential spot to use a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning and tough Braves lefty A.J. Minter, interim manager Rob Thomson stuck with Gregorius, who grounded out.
