In just a few months, Delmon Young went from MVP of the American League championship series to a guy hoping for an opportunity. Young got that chance Tuesday, signing a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Phillies for $750,000. The 27-year-old outfielder batted .267 with 27 doubles, 18 homers and 74 RBIs for Detroit last season. He hit .313 with three homers and a team-high nine RBIs during 13 playoff games and was MVP against of the ALCS against the New York Yankees. The Tigers were swept by San Francisco in the World Series. Young made $6.75 million last year, but off-field issues cost him a lucrative, multiyear deal.

Young later pleaded guilty to aggravated harassment for shouting an anti-Semitic slur and tackling a man to the ground.
