2018 Spring Training Roster - Where They Went

2017 Topps Heritage
Minor League #28
When pitchers and catchers reported to Clearwater on February 14th, 63 players suited up for the Phillies.  They'd add one more on March 12th with the signing of pitcher Jake Arrieta.  Each year, I take a look at where the players who spent the spring with the club ended up.

The math this year worked out to 63 + 1 - 39 = 25, and here's a look at the break-down of the 39.

Disabled List (3):  Jerad Eickhoff, Tommy Hunter and Mark Leiter, Jr.

Released (5):  Fernando Abad, Ryan Flaherty, Francisco Rodriguez, Adam Rosales and Cameron Rupp

Abad signed with the Mets, Flaherty signed with the Braves and immediately hurt the Phillies, and Rosales signed with the Indians.  Rodriguez and Rupp haven't yet latched on elsewhere.

Claimed Off Waivers (1):  Tommy Joseph

Joseph went to the Rangers on a waiver claim.

Traded (2):  Eliezer Alvarez and Ricardo Pinto

Victims of the roster crunch, Alvarez was traded to the Rangers and Pinto went to the White Sox.

AAA - Lehigh Valley IronPigs (20):  Drew Anderson, Pedro Beato, Collin Cowgill, Dylan Cozens, Zac Curtis, Enyel Del Los Santos, Zach Eflin, Tom Eshelman, Cole Irvin, Brandon Leibrandt, Matt McBride, Heiker Meneses, Logan Moore, Danny Ortiz, Andrew Pullin, Roman Quinn, Nick Rickles, Yacksel Rios, Jesmuel Valentin and Mitch Walding

Rios didn't even get a chance to try on his IronPigs uniform as he summoned to the Phillies the second day of the season when Pat Neshek was disabled.

AA - Reading Fightin Phils (3):  Seranthony Dominguez, Franklyn Kilome and Ranger Suarez

A - Clearwater Threshers (3):  Jake Arrieta, Edgar Cabral and J.D. Hammer

Arrieta will be recalled on April 8th to make his first start of the season for the Phillies.

Disabled List/Extended Spring Training (2):  Will Middlebrooks and Jose Taveras
