Marlins released INF-OF Chone Figgins.

Figgins tallied no extra-base hits in 32 plate appearances this spring in the Grapefruit League. He signed a minor league contract with the Fish in February after the Mariners cut ties with him in November. The 35-year-old utilityman will try to latch on with a new team.

Chone Figgins went 0-for-2 with a walk on Thursday and is still hitless in 11 at-bats this spring.

The slow start doesn't bode well for Figgins' chances of making the Marllins. Still, his ability to play five positions could get him a bench spot.

Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that the Phillies have "checked in" on Chone Figgins.

Morosi notes that the extent of their interest is unclear at this time. The Phillies don't have starters locked in at third base or left field, so it makes sense that they have some interest in Figgins. Whether or not they view him as a regular isn't known. Figgins was cut loose last month by the Mariners, who ate the remaining $8 million on his contract.
