At 34, McCutchen hit 27 home runs with 80 RBIs in 144 games for the Phillies.
The Phillies wrote (via X) on November 3, 2021: “The Phillies have declined club options for the 2022 season on outfielders Odúbel Herrera and Andrew McCutchen.”
Looking At McCutchen’s Other Stops
McCutchen is most known for his first stint with the Pittsburgh Pirates when he made five straight MLB All-Star Games from 2011-15.
He has also had stops with the San Francisco Giants, New York Yankees, Milwaukee Brewers and Texas Rangers over 18 seasons.
In 2013, McCutchen won the National League MVP Award.
Looking At The Phillies Right Now
The Phillies are currently the second-place team in the National League East with an 86-70 record in 156 games.
They have gone 4-6 over their last ten games (and are 45-36 in 81 games on the road).
Following the Mets, the Phillies will now return home to host the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park.
