The Philadelphia Phillies decline Jose Contreras’ option for 2013
The Philadelphia Phillies have declined 40-year old righty reliever Jose Contreras’ option for the 2013 season valued at $2.5 million bucks. Contreras pitched in only 17 games (0 starts) for the Phillies last year due to injury and he was 1-0 with a 5.27 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP. He pitched in 101 games (0 starts) in his three years with the Phillies and he was 7-4 with 9 saves, a 3.74 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. This isn’t much of a loss as Contreras is still rehabbing his elbow.
