Braves To Sign Phil Gosselin To Minors Deal

By TC Zencka | March 19, 2022 at 10:17am CDT

The Braves are set to sign infielder Phil Gosselin to a minor-league deal, per The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal (via Twitter).

Gosselin originally entered the league as a Braves’ draft pick back in 2010 when they selected him in the fifth round out of the University of Virginia. He made his Major League debut with a cup of coffee during the 2013 season. The Braves sent him to Arizona for Bronson Arroyo and Touki Toussaint in June 0f 2015. The Braves briefly claimed him off waivers in 2018, but he did not make it back to the Major League roster with Atlanta that season.

Gosselin saw more playing time in 2021 than at any other time during his big league career, garnering 373 plate appearances with the Angels in his age-32 season.  He posted a .261/.314/.362 line, good for an 87 wRC+. He can play all over the diamond, spending most of 2021 split between first base, third base, and left field, though he appeared everywhere in his career except for center field and catcher.

He’ll have the opportunity to compete for a utility role in Atlanta that has recently been held by Ehire Adrianza, Charlie Culberson, and Orlando Arcia, the latter of whom remains on the roster.

        Better at losing? At least you have a 300 million smile at SS slowly declining to obscurity. Also, people are forgetting the Mets lost Loup. He was their only reliable bullpen arm. Offensively they are better, otherwise not sure Max is reliable anymore.

    I’m a homer, this is true. But why each in every year no one respects the Braves as a good team? Why are they always predicted to be in the “cellar”? The Astro’s get props, the Dodgers get theirs for obvious reasons, the Rays people, but never the Atlanta Braves even after a WS victory. I hope they use all that doubt as fuel this season. Go Braves.

      I haven’t heard people NOT call them a contender this off-season? I’d say you’re generalizing based on a few posters trolling you.

    I was in the stands for Phil’s debut at The Ted. I lived next to Fox Bros at the time and rode my bike to a day game. He got a base knock if I remember. And I remember being impressed with his glove. Full circle. Hope he makes the 25-man.
