Summary
The Philadelphia Phillies are seeking to strengthen their bullpen following closer Jose Alvarado’s 80-game suspension for a PED violation. Prior to the suspension, the team reached out to free agent reliever David Robertson, who has prior experience with the Phillies and pitched well for the Texas Rangers last season. At 40, Robertson recorded a 3.00 ERA in 68 games in 2024 and could serve as a low-risk, high-reward option for the Phillies as they navigate the challenges ahead in the season.
