According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Phillies have avoided arbitration with reliever Seranthony Dominguez. The two sides agreed to a one-year, $727,500 contract on Monday. This won’t have much impact on the team next year, because Dominguez will be out recovering from Tommy John surgery for most, if not all, of the season. However, this means that the team believes Dominguez will be a valuable piece in 2022 and beyond.
Dominguez is still a powerful young arm, but many reporters, such as Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia, considered him a likely candidate to be non-tendered this offseason.
