Report: Rockies agree to deal with former All-Star Domonic Brown
It wasn't too long ago that Domonic Brown was an All-Star during an impressive 2013 campaign with the Philadelphia Phillies, but now the 29-year-old will need to fight for a spot on a big-league roster entering spring training.
Brown has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Colorado Rockies, according to a source of Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan.
This is the first mention of Brown's name throughout the offseason after he put up subpar numbers with the Toronto Blue Jays Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo last season. During 126 games, which included 509 plate appearances, Brown hit .239/.303/.336 with seven home runs and 41 RBIs.
With the Rockies already possessing a stacked outfield of Carlos Gonzalez, Charlie Blackmon, David Dahl, and Gerardo Parra it's likely that Brown will serve as nothing but organizational depth.
During his All-Star campaign in 2013, Brown hit .272/.324/.494 with 27 home runs and 83 RBIs, but has hasn't been able to replicate those kind of numbers since.
Over the course of his big-league career, the former top prospect owns a .246/.305/.405 slash line with 54 home runs and 229 RBIs.
