The Phillies have reportedly signed left-handed pitcher Brad Hand to a one-year, $6 million contract, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.
Hand, 31, is an 11-year major league veteran who previously played for the Marlins, Padres, Guardians, Nationals, Blue Jays and Mets. He signed a one-year deal to be the Nationals closer last year and was traded to Toronto before the deadline. His last outing with Washington was memorable from a Phillies perspective.
After giving up seven earned runs in 11 games with the Blue Jays, Hand was claimed off waivers by the Mets.
