5/26/26 : Former Phillies in Independent Leagues - updated

Compiled by Steve Potter

Thanks to tips and research from a couple friends we found former Phillies minor league first baseman Rixon Wingrove playing in a Japan Independent League (listed below) and former Phillies RHP Edgar Garcia now pitching in the Canadian League. Also former Phillies minor league LHP Jaylen Smith told me he is now participating in “entertainment” baseball as an outfielder as part of the “Cosmic Takeover Tour”.
