Here are today’s minor moves from around the game.
- Outfielder Brian Bogusevic has signed with the Orix Buffaloes in Japan, CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman tweets. Bogusevic is a client of Beverly Hills Sports Council. The 31-year-old Bogusevic has played parts of five big-league seasons with the Astros, Cubs and Phillies. Last year, he hit .259/.295/.414 in 58 plate appearances with Philadelphia, also batting .296/.359/.424 in 515 plate appearances with Triple-A Lehigh Valley while playing all three outfield positions.
Kinda sucks for Bogs that he had to go to Japan. Felt the Phillies did him a disservice last year keeping him down in the minors after a great spring that carried over to a solid AAA season. Honestly would have been fine with them keeping him as a 4th/5th OF this season. Wish him the best.
