Phillies, Benoit Agree To One-Year Deal

DEC. 5: Gelb reports that Benoit will earn $7.5MM on his one-year deal — the
same amount he earned in 2016 (Twitter link).
DEC. 4, 11:59pm: Benoit’s deal is a one-year contract and it will be
finalized when he passes a physical, Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer
reports.
10:04pm: The Phillies are close to a deal with veteran reliever Joaquin
Benoit, CSNPhilly.com’s Jim Salisbury reports. The contract is expected to
be announced before the end of the Winter Meetings on Thursday.
Benoit’s 15th big league season was really like two seasons in one, as he
struggled with both the long ball and his control over 24 1/3 innings with
the Mariners before being traded to the Blue Jays in late July. In Toronto,
Benoit turned things around in spectacular fashion, posting an 0.38 ERA, 9.1
K/9, 2.67 K/BB rate and just one home run allowed over 23 2/3 IP as a Blue
Jay. He missed out on the Jays’ postseason run due to a torn calf muscle
suffered in a bench-clearing brawl with the Yankees in late September.
Assuming a deal is finalized, the Phillies would be the seventh team Benoit
has suited up for during his long career. The 39-year-old has somewhat flown
under the radar as one of the best relievers in baseball in recent years,
posting a 2.40 ERA, 3.56 K/BB rate and an even 10.0 K/9 over 427 bullpen
innings since the start of the 2010 season.
As Salisbury notes, Benoit does have some closing experience but for now
likely slots in alongside Pat Neshek as the veteran setup options behind
Hector Neris and Jeanmar Gomez. Salisbury speculates that Benoit could give
the Phils added depth so the team could shop Neris or Gomez; Neris in
particular would draw a lot of attention on the open market, though
Philadelphia would want a lot in return.

1. 费城人以$7.5MM/1YR签下了 Joaquin Benoit，待体检完成后即生效。
2. 历经15年的职棒生涯，今年球季对他仿佛是两个球季，在水手(1)投得挣扎，经过交易
到蓝鸟(2)后表现判若两人，23.2局缴出0.38 ERA、 9.1 K/9、 2.67 K/BB ，且只被敲出
一支全垒打。
3. 他没有参加季后赛是因为九月底和洋基的冲突中弄伤了小腿肌。
4. 明年费城人牛棚阵容预测：
Pat Neshek(RHP, RP)、Edubray Ramos(RHP, RP)、Jake Thompson(RHP, LR)、
Hector Neris(RHP, SU)、Joaquin Benoit(RHP, SU)
Jeanmar Gomez(RHP, CL)
