The Philadelphia Phillies have signed right-handed pitcher Brandon Kintzler to a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. If he wins a spot on the MLB roster, Kintzler will make $3 million plus incentives, per Jesse Rogers of ESPN.
Kintzler spent the 2020 season in the back end of the Miami Marlins bullpen. He posted a 2.22 ERA and 5.00 FIP in 24 1/3 innings. The 36-year-old relies heavily on a sinker, which he used 74.
