David Robertson is back for a third stint.
The right-handed reliever has agreed to a major league contract with the Phillies, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reported that the deal is worth $16 million “prorated for the remainder of the season.” That works out to just over $5 million, per The Athletic.
Robertson, 40, reportedly threw for scouts over the weekend. The Mets and Yankees were among the teams in the bidding for Robertson, according to The Athletic.
