Paul signed a minor league deal with the Phillies, which includes a spring training invite, on Thursday, Rich Dubroff of CSN reports.
Paul spent most of 2014 with the Orioles organization at Triple-A Norfolk, where he hit just .251 with 57 RBI and 12 home runs in 299 at-bats. He was released in August and quickly signed with the Diamondbacks, for whom he appeared in 14 games near the end of the season. In that stint, he was 2-for-20 at the plate with eight strikeouts. Arizona released Paul on Aug. 29, solidifying his status as a free agent this offseason.

Paul's contract was selected by the Diamondbacks Friday.
Paul was just signed Thursday to a minor-league deal, but he will instead join the big-league club. He hit .254/.316/.431 at Triple-A Norfolk in the Orioles' organization this season, but didn't get a chance with the major-league squad due to a loaded outfield in Baltimore. Paul will now get his first chance of the year to contribute in the majors, likely serving as a bench player for the D-backs.
