Philadelphia Phillies fans are wondering what team president Dave Dombrowski is going to do with the trade deadline quickly approaching. Their lineup appears to

It's tough to say that the Philadelphia Phillies made the perfect decision when they went out and signed David Robertson on Sunday night. Robertson has already pitched in Philadelphia throughout his career and was staying ready during the early stages of the year.

The Philadelphia Phillies are getting closer to the MLB trade deadline, and so far, they have yet to make a splash. They have some clear needs despite being on

The Philadelphia Phillies have signed right-hander David Robertson to a $15.7 million, one-year contract, prorated to $6 million through the end of the regular season, to bolster their bullpen in a bid to outlast the New York Mets and win a second straight NL East title.

The Phillies are bringing righty reliever David Robertson back for a third time. He was part of the team that went to the 2022 World Series.

Once he joins the Phillies, Robertson will begin his 17th season in the majors. He signed a two-year, $23 million free-agent deal with the Phillies in 2019, but appeared in only seven games for them before undergoing Tommy John surgery. The Phillies reacquired him in July 2022 in a trade with the Chicago Cubs for right-hander Ben Brown.

Dombrowski is regularly aggressive at the trade deadline. August 2024 saw a bullpen makeover, Seranthony Dominguez and Gregory Soto departing for Carlos Estevez and Tanner Banks. In 2023, the team got starter Michael Lorenzen to fill a need.

With the bullpen as a recurring problem and a club-record payroll this season, acquiring another arm at the trade deadline could come at a hefty price for the Phillies.
