Phillies reportedly may bring Tommy Hunter back

As the Philadelphia Phillies look to fill out their bullpen, a familiar face may show up in Clearwater next Tuesday.

Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reported Friday that he’s “hearing rumblings that Tommy Hunter may end up in Phillies camp.”

Hunter had a career year with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2017, posting a 2.61 ERA in 61 appearances thanks in large part to his dominant cutter. The Phillies signed Hunter to a two-year/$18 million free-agent contract, hoping he would help solidify their bullpen as they attempted to contend again.
