The Philadelphia Phillies release Steve Kline
The Phillies have released veteran lefty reliever Steve Kline as they weren’t happy with his progress in AAA ball. He pitched in 20 games in AAA for the Phillies and he was 0-2 with 1 save, a 5.16 ERA and a 1.59 WHIP. Kline might get to hook on with another team that wants to give him an audition because lefty relievers that can get someone out are in short supply. Still, Phillies’ management won’t likely lose any sleep over this.
