The Phillies announced this morning that they have acquired infielder Jayson Nix from the Orioles for cash considerations. He’s expected to report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Nix was batting just .167/.190/.198 across his first 100 plate appearances with the Orioles’ Triple-A affiliate this season. The 32-year-old had stints with the Phillies, Pirates, and Royals last season while hitting just .120 with one home run and a .325 OPS over 91 games. He’s a .212/.282/.345 hitter in the majors and hasn’t been anything close to a productive player for a few years now.
At this point, Nix is just infield depth to have around in the minors.
