PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Phillies, in need of outfield depth, plan to sign Outfielder Matt Szczur, a graduate of Lower Cape May Regional High School and Villanova University, to a minor league contract, sources report, as of Dec. 13.
Szczur is known for being a member of the 2016 World Series Champion Chicago Cubs. He was traded to the San Diego Padres in 2017, and spent his 2019 season in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ organization.
