Phillies Add Gold Glove Utilityman Dylan Moore on Incentive-Laden Minor-League Deal

The non-roster invite includes bonuses that signal a realistic path to Philadelphia’s 2026 roster.

Overview

  • Philadelphia agreed to a minor-league contract with Dylan Moore that carries a spring training invite, a $1.85 million MLB base if he makes the team, and incentives pushing the value to $3.25 million.
  • Moore, 33, won the 2024 American League utility Gold Glove and has played every position except catcher, with most starts at second base, shortstop, left field, and right field.
  • He will report to camp to compete for a multi-positional bench role, with reporters noting he could factor into a left-field platoon with Brandon Marsh or serve as right-handed depth around the diamond.
  • Across seven MLB seasons and 689 games, Moore owns a .206 average, 63 home runs, a .693 OPS, and stronger career production against left-handed pitching than right-handers.
  • After being designated for assignment and released by the Mariners in August 2025, Moore finished the season in the Rangers organization before reaching this deal with Philadelphia.
