Former Phillies reliever David Robertson has signed with a postseason contender
David Robertson signed a multi-year deal with the Philadelphia Phillies before the 2019 season, with the hopes that his World Series championship experience – under then-Yankees manager Joe Girardi – would rub off on his new teammates.
Robertson went on to appear in just seven relief outings for the 2019 Phillies, under then-skipper Gabe Kapler. He went 0-1 with a disappointing 5.40 ERA. Injuries were a significant factor for Robertson, who later underwent Tommy John surgery.
