As the Phillies continue to search for a president of baseball operations and/or general manager, someone in the front office, presumably interim GM Ned Rice, is making decisions. One of those decisions involved relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez, who has agreed to a one-year, $727,500 contract for a 2021 season in which he will not throw a single pitch.
Dominguez will miss all of next year as he recovers from Tommy John surgery, but the Phillies feel good enough about his ability to recover to put him on the payroll despite the pandemic-induced losses last season that could lead to a reduced payroll in ‘21.
