The Boston Red Sox have signed veteran Brandon Phillips to a Minor League deal.
"He is reporting to Florida to get himself in playing shape," Dave Dombrowski said. "Once he has accomplished that, he will join [Triple-A] Pawtucket."
Phillips hasn't played in the Major Leagues this season. He will play second and third and will take some grounders at first for the Red Sox.
Dombrowski said Phillips has "numerous" opt-outs in the contract.
