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 was released by the Diamondbacks on Friday. Paul hasn't done much outside of pinch hit for the Diamondbacks, and is hitting just .100,.100,.143 in 20 at-bats. The 29-year-old outfielder will now need to look for work elsewhere.

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.

Reds non-tendered OF Xavier Paul. Paul was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter, so he wasn't due a significant raise, but the Reds decided to cut him loose. The 28-year-old hit .244/.339/.402 with seven homers and 32 RBI in 97 games this past season.
