The Phillies have signed a reliever whose best days appear to be behind him. If that sounds familia, it's because it is. Former Met Jeurys Familia is now a Phillie, on a one-year, $6 million deal.
He was an all star in 2016. But since then, he's posted a 4.15 ERA with a WHIP of 1.446. Not exactly the kind of stats you like to see in a bullpen that's been nothing short of brutal the last few years.
This is the best they could do? The best thing about Familia is that he's been healthy and throws a lot of innings. But that 4.15 ERA doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
With the expanded playoff field under the new CBA, the Phils have a better chance to make the post-season. But does Familia really help this team? I'm not exactly thrilled.
