He’d surely sign with the Phillies over the Reds if his contract isn’t purchased by the BrewCrew leading him to opt out. They likely just lost their first baseman.

Now both Luke Voit and Keston Hiura are out of the lineups today. Will pass along the news when we have it.

Yeah, Voit to the Phillies seems pretty likely.
