Further details havent emerged yet... but assume its not a minor league deal. Usually dont hear about pending physicals with those

I guess he still deserves what Moore got last year. Or maybe he's taking a low salary in exchange for the roster spot.

I'm not going to miss Kennedy. His 4.13 ERA and 2.63 HR/9 were real problems. He may have had 10 saves in 23 games here but he was horribly inconsistent.

Yeah he wasn't even that good when we got him (despite blowing fewer saves, on a bad team) but he was still needed at the time.

I think we are going to miss Hector. Durable, consistent (including the bad stuff), underrated and seemingly well-suited to non-closer role (which becomes even more valuable if the manager isn't married to the roles). On the list of veteran relievers we've had to suffer through over the past four seasons I'm pretty sure he still rates as the best - and healthiest one.

I will miss you Cutch - appears to be signing with the Brewers.

Was a solid player, but really not the guy we need anymore. We need better defense in that position with Herrera in CF.

Did not necessarily want to resign him, but I have always liked him as a player and a person.

Tigers sign Chase Anderson to a minor league contract

Yeah...but on the other hand Cristopher Sanchez has already appeared in Philadelphia, is 25 years old, and may have value. As painful as it is to see Mead potentially blossoming for the Rays (and not the Phils), it's far too soon to conclude the Phils lost this one.
