I don’t have live access to up-to-the-minute news in this turn. Here’s the latest general context I can share from widely reported sources up to recent years:
- Scott Kingery signed a six-year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2018, guaranteed around $24 million with club options for 2024–2026. The deal was notable because it bought out arbitration years and early free-agent years before he had debuted in the majors. [source coverage from MLB Trade Rumors and MLB.com at the time]
- In 2021, reports indicated the Phillies faced some organizational moves with Kingery, including a mid-season designation for assignment and outright process, reflecting a change in his role and status within the majors.
- Subsequent coverage through 2024–2025 discussed Kingery in the context of payroll/contract reflections, long-term extensions, and his status across MLB teams, but details varied by site and time.
If you’d like, I can search for the latest news now and summarize the current contract status with precise dates and sources. I can also pull multiple reputable outlets (e.g., MLB.com, MLB Trade Rumors, Baseball-Reference) to confirm any new extensions, trades, waivers, or releases as of today. Would you like me to do that?
