Utility man Dylan Moore has exercised his opt-out clause in his minor-league deal with the Philadelphia Phillies, putting the club on the clock ahead of Opening Day.

The Phillies now have 48 hours to decide whether to add Moore to the 40-man roster or risk losing him to free agency.

Moore, a versatile defender capable of playing nearly every position, entered camp as a non-roster invitee competing for a bench role. While his defensive flexibility and speed remain appealing, his underwhelming spring performance may complicate the decision.

With bench spots still up for grabs, the Phillies must weigh Moore’s versatility against other internal options.

A decision is expected soon, making this a situation to watch closely.
