Phillips Becomes Free Agent

Andy Phillips has refused an assignment to AAA Scranton and has become a free agent. It is tough to blame Andy. He will be 31 years old in April and has spent 9 seasons with the Yankees mostly in the minors. If the team will not give him a shot now with first base up in the air and Phillips coming off a relatively productive year, he is probably going to need to go elsewhere to get another opportunity. Andy is by all accounts a great guy and has persevered through years in the minors and personal difficulties. Here’s wishing Andy Phillips luck in his next destination.
