PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Phillies have acquired infielder C.J. Chatham from the Boston Red Sox for a player to be named or cash.
Chatham hit .298 with 14 home runs and a .739 OPS in 266 minor league games. He batted .302 with two home runs in 20 games in Triple-A in 2019.
He is expected to compete for a bench role on the roster, and has the ability to play both middle infield positions and third base.
Chatham was part of a 40-man roster crunch for the Red Sox, making him expendable and an easy acquisition for the Phillies.
