“We’ve acquired a veteran guy who can pitch in either a starting role or as a reliever,” Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. “He will come to spring training and be given every opportunity to compete for a spot in the starting rotation.”
The 35-year-old right-hander went 4-4 with a 3.40 ERA in 54 appearances for the Los Angeles Dodgers last season. A former All-Star in 2001, Park can earn an additional $2.5 million in performance bonuses.
“I’m very happy to be a Phillie,” Park said. “It’s an honor to be on a championship team. I was trying to beat them in the playoffs last year and now I’m trying to help them win another championship.”
