The Phillies have signed veteran catcher Wil Nieves to a one-year deal, according to several sources close to the organization.
Details of the contract are unclear, but the value is expected to be near $850,000.
Nieves, 36, hit .297/.320/.369 in 206 plate appearances for the Diamondbacks last season. A 10 year veteran, he's a career .242 hitter.
Nieves allowed 33 wild pitches last season in just over 380 defensive innings - the most surrendered by any pitcher with less than 500 innings behind the plate since 1995.
