The Phillies announced that they have signed infielder Yuniesky Betancourt to a minor league deal with an invite to major league spring training. Betancourt is represented by Alex Esteban of Miami Sports Management.
Betancourt, who turns 31 on Thursday, hit .228/.256/.400 with seven home runs in 57 games with the Royals last season. The veteran also drew interest from the Twins and the Cubs at different points this winter.
