Reports: Phillies sign Francisco Rodriguez to minor league deal

Former All-Star reliever Francisco Rodriguez has agreed to a minor league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies and will report to major league spring training, according to multiple reports.

The deal, which was first reported by FanRag Sports on Saturday, will include a $2.5 million base salary if Rodriguez is added to the 40-man roster and a chance to make $1.25 million in incentives.

The 35-year-old right-hander saved 44 games for the Tigers in 2016, but he was 2-5 with a 7.82 ERA in 28 appearances last season before being released by Detroit in June.
