David Robertson agrees to two-year deal with Phillies

David Robertson

The Philadelphia Phillies made a big move to bolster their bullpen on Thursday, agreeing to a two-year deal with veteran reliever David Robertson.

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports that the deal is worth a minimum of $23 million over two seasons.

Robertson, 33, has been one of the most consistent relievers in baseball for the past decade. The right-hander started his career with the New York Yankees in 2008, won the World Series with them in 2009, and made an All-Star appearance in 2011 before leaving to sign with the Chicago White Sox in 2015. He was then traded back to the Yankees in 2017 and posted a 3.23 ERA in 69 appearances with New York last season.

While the departure of Robertson will leave a significant void in the Yankees’ bullpen, they are probably pleased he signed with an NL team rather than the AL team he was previously linked to.
