And another phormer phillie

Pretty good deal for Rhys. Might as well lessen the risk of a 1-year deal and get some guaranteed earnings. Timing of his injury really cost him some money, because if he had a healthy 2023 that was similar to 2022 he probably gets something like 20 million a year for 4 years.
Still too bad the Phillies have three more years of Nick C instead of 1 or more years of Rhys IMO.
Bullpen options dwindling...
Rhys can opt out too

Robertson and Jankowski to the Rangers. Wouldn't have been a horrible reunion in Philly.
I guess it won't be hard for him to hit that threshold which would presumably just send him back into free agency.

Still making headlines
Old pal Nick Maton has been designated for assignment by the Tigers.
The Red Sox agreed to a minor league contract with infielder/outfielder Dalton Guthrie, per the transaction log at MiLB.com.
Nick Maton traded to Baltimore.
After yesterday I'm not sure the Phillies shouldn't have signed him!
He sure took a beating, supposedly he turned down deals worth twice as much while holding out for two. But $7M with incentives.
Hard to believe Bradley Zimmer played CF for the Phillies so recently! And now Jake Cave took his spot.
Joely Rodriguez has made the Red Sox roster, a decision punctuated with a joyful shout from the lefty in the clubhouse. CJ Cron, meanwhile, has been released.— Alex Speier ( @alexspeier ) March 24, 2024

Joely Rodriguez. He pitched for us during the Pete Mackanin era! I guess it helps to be a lefty reliever to be a survivor.
Got him for Bastardo in what would have been his last arb year (2015 season) even before the serious rebuild (Rollins was dealt a couple of weeks later, Hamels and Revere and Utley would all be traded mid-season).
