Max Kepler, the Phillies’ new everyday left fielder, has never played an inning of left field in the major leagues. The 31-year-old has played 927 games in right field and 159 games in center over the last 10 years with the Minnesota Twins.

Max Kepler, who signed with the Twins when he was 16 years old and played 10 major league seasons for them, has agreed to a free agent contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. Kepler, 31, will get a one-year deal worth $10 million if he passes the team’s physical after missing extended time last season because of knee and hip injuries.
