| 7th December, 2007 - 5:41 pm | MLB.com - First baseman Andy Phillips refused an outright assignment to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday and is set to become a free agent.
Phillips, 30, was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Monday to clear space on the 40-man roster for catcher Jose Molina, who was signed to a two-year, $4 million deal.
"He's going to look and see what's out there," said Phillips' agent Rex Gary. "He proved that he is a Major League player and would have been the Yankees' first baseman all throughout the season had he not gotten hurt. If he's not going to get that opportunity with the Yankees, he'd like to get that opportunity elsewhere."
Phillips batted .292 with two home runs and 25 RBIs in a checkered 61-game campaign for New York this past season, making 49 starts at first base. [READ] |
