As you may have heard, the Phillies made a big move on Thursday by signing former Yankee reliever David Robertson to a two-year deal. Presumably, Robertson will step into their closer role, though Gabe Kapler has shown a willingness to move pitchers around in terms of role. Anyway, the Red Sox were assumed to be involved in the Robertson negotiation, and now they are sent back to the drawing board as the righty signs with another team.
To many, myself included, this signing triggered another reason to believe the way this ultimately turns out is Boston getting Craig Kimbrel back in town.
