Daniel Nava is hoping to continue his major-league career in the City of Brotherly Love.

The veteran outfielder reportedly agreed to a minor-league deal with the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday, a source told Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Nava has bounced around the majors following a successful five-year stint with the Boston Red Sox in which he hit .267/.357/.387 with 23 home runs and 87 doubles over 424 games.

The 33-year-old split last season between the Los Angeles Angels and Kansas City Royals, appearing in just 54 games, hitting .223/.297/.292 with one home run and six doubles. Nava is capable of playing both corner outfield positions, in addition to first base, and could find a role on the Phillies' bench to open the season.
