Phillies agree to 1-year, $3M deal with Blanco

The Philadelphia Phillies re-signed infielder Andres Blanco on Wednesday, agreeing to a one-year, $3-million deal.

Blanco has spent the last three seasons with the Phillies in a utility role, hitting .274/.337/.457 with 12 home runs and 42 doubles in 221 games. He slashed .253/.316/.405 with one home run and 15 doubles in 90 games in 2016, appearing defensively at all four infield positions.

The 32-year-old gives the Phillies some additional veteran depth on the bench behind fellow infielders Cesar Hernandez, Freddy Galvis, and Maikel Franco.
