The Philadelphia Phillies and right-handed pitcher Taijuan Walker have reached agreement on a four-year, $72 million contract, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan on Tuesday.
A day after reeling in shortstop Trea Turner with an 11-year, $300 million deal, the Phillies added to their rotation with one of the top pitchers left on the free agent market. And the spending didn’t stop there, with Philadelphia also finalizing a two-year, $15 million pact with left-handed reliever Matt Strahm on Tuesday, sources told Passan.
They join a Phillies team that made it to the World Series this year before losing to the Houston Astros.
