Amateur career

Filia graduated from Edison High School in Huntington Beach, California. As a freshman, he had a .500 batting average for the baseball team, tying a school record set by Jeff Kent, and set a school record for hits. He enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he played college baseball for the UCLA Bruins. He was a member of the 2013 College World Series champions, and had five runs batted in during the decisive game.

After the 2013 college season, Filia played collegiate summer baseball for the Yarmouth–Dennis Red Sox in Cape Cod Baseball League, and tore the labrum in his right shoulder, causing him to miss the 2014 season. He took a redshirt in 2014, and was suspended for the 2014–15 academic year for plagiarizing a paper. While he was suspended from UCLA, Filia worked as a butler at the Playboy Mansion. He played summer collegiate baseball for the Kenosha Kingfish in the Northwoods League in 2015.

Professional career

Seattle Mariners

Filia was suspended for 50 games during the 2018 season for his second positive test for a drug of abuse. After his suspension, he joined the Arkansas Travelers, before the Mariners traded Filia to the Boston Red Sox as the player to be named later from the Roenis Elías trade. He failed his physical exam with the Red Sox and was returned to Seattle, with the Red Sox acquiring cash considerations instead.

Before the 2019 season, Filia was suspended for 100 games for his third positive drug test.
