While most roster spots are set, there is one bench spot up for grabs this spring. While there's some debate about which player will earn that final bench spot, one of the names in the mix is a former Seattle Mariners versatile infielder/outfielder who once won a Gold Glove award and is fighting for a roster spot. However, as The Athletic's Will Sammon reports, the Phillies have 48 hours to make a decision on this Gold Glove, Dylan Moore, thanks to a contract opt-out clause that gives the Phillies two days to decide on Moore's future with the team.
