The Philadelphia Phillies sign Chad Qualls
The Phillies have signed 33-year old righty reliever Chad Qualls to a 1-year, $1.15 million dollar deal. Qualls pitched in 77 games (0 starts) for the Padres last year and he was 6-8 with a 3.51 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. He has now pitched in 537 games (0 starts) in his first 8 years in the majors and he is 38-34 with 51 saves, a 3.78 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP. This was an excellent addition to the Phillies’ bullpen as Qualls came at the right price.
