The Colorado Rockies have reportedly brought in yet another former All-Star. According to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports, the team agreed to a minor-league deal with outfielder Domonic Brown on Tuesday.

Brown is best remembered for his time with the Philadelphia Phillies, with whom he made the All-Star team in 2013. A veteran of 493 MLB games, he is a career .246 hitter, with 54 home runs, 229 RBI and 23 stolen bases. He spent last season with the Toronto Blue Jays’ triple-A affiliate in Buffalo, where he hit .239, with seven home runs, 41 RBI and five stolen bases.
He faces an uphill battle to make the Rockies, as the team has Carlos Gonzalez, Charlie Blackmon, Gerardo Parra and David Dahl. The team also added former All-Star outfielder Ian Desmond in the offseason, but he is expected to start at first base.
