Delmon Young will be paid bonuses if he keeps his weight in check throughout the 2013 season.
Young will be weighed six different times and can earn a $100,000 payout for each weigh-in. "I've been on a strict diet," the new Phillies outfielder said Wednesday. "You can get carried away on clubhouse food and late night room service. Some ice cream and good luck cakes. But when you go back to the outfield, you have got to eat lighter." The Phillies want him to start in right field.
