Weston Wilson Competing For Second Utility Spot
31 seconds agoPhiladelphia Phillies outfielder/first baseman Weston Wilson will be competing with Kody Clemens and Buddy Kennedy at spring training this year for the second utility job behind infielder Edmundo Sosa, who is a lock for the Opening Day roster, according to MLB.com's Todd Zolecki. If the Phillies are looking for balance on their roster, Wilson might make the most sense just because of the fact that he hits right-handed, and the team already has a lot of lefty swingers on the roster. He can also play left field occasionally against tough left-handed pitchers. However, both Clemens and Kennedy are out of minor-league options and would have to be exposed to waivers if they are cut. The 30-year-old Wilson has only played in 48 big-league games the last two years, but he's hit .375 with four homers, 12 RBI and six steals and could be on the short side of a platoon for the Phils to open the 2025 campaign.
