PHILADELPHIA (AP) Free-agent reliever J.C. Romero re-signed with the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday, agreeing to a three-year, $12 million contract.
The Phillies have a club option for a fourth that could bring the total value of the contract to $16.75 million, assistant general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said.
"J.C. had an outstanding three months for us this year, particularly down the stretch," Amaro said. "He was an integral part of our winning the NL East and we're very happy we could get him signed before he hit the open market." (Full Story)
