The Phillies had three players eligible for arbitration this offseason after jettisoning Cody Asche and Darin Ruf. They made their first deal Thursday with Freddy Galvis for a one-year, $4.35 million contract.
The team didn’t stop there, as they have agreed with relief pitcher Jeanmar Gomez on a one-year deal to avoid arbitration. Gomez will earn $4.2 million, slightly less than his teammate Galvis.
