David Robertson shifts blame for playoff shares amid Yankees exit

David Robertson’s second stint with the Yankees wasn’t as fruitful as the first, but the veteran reliever could remain in contention for another World Series ring at his new destination.

The Phillies continued their active offseason Thursday by agreeing to a two-year contract with Robertson worth $23 million with a 2021 club option. The Yankees had remained in contact with Robertson this offseason but may have been agitated by an off-field matter.

As The Post’s George A. King III reported, Robertson chaired a team meeting last season in which it was decided that several coaches and support staffers would receive half or no shares of the Yankees’ postseason money.
