We’ll call this one the first significant signing of the offseason, given that it’s a three-year deal (maybe especially given that it’s a three-year deal for a guy whom I didn’t see getting a deal quite like this).
Evan Phillips, who returned from Tommy John surgery to post a so-so partial season in 2026, apparently showed enough to get PAID:
#Braves Sign Evan Phillips: t.co/2ozx27CQUG
— Atlanta Braves (@Braves) November 12, 2026We saw Phillips as a good target for the Cubs this offseason, but at that price level, it was never going to happen. The Cubs will make a move in the bullpen, but I don’t see any $10M+ AAV, multi-year deals coming. Then again, if you want to add strikeouts – which the Cubs do – you’re going to have to pony up for it. The Braves did.
In a small sample, Phillips gave up a lot of homers in 2026, which is what hurt his ERA a bit. But outside of the homers, his strikeouts were back (and then some) and he didn’t walk anyone. I get the bet. Historically, there’s one thing the Braves do not get wrong: surprising deals for relievers. So you can bet on Evan Phillips to be fully back to being awesome in 2027.
That’s now a few reliever types who’ve signed this week, so you wonder if there’s a little bit of a run coming.
