The 32-year-old right-hander returns to the Atlanta organization on a multi-year deal intended to strengthen the team's relief pitching corps.
The Atlanta Braves strengthened their bullpen Thursday by signing Evan Phillips, but their next move should address the innings that come before him. Re-signing Tyler Mahle offers the most practical way to reinforce an Atlanta rotation that still needs established help. Phillips will fortify the backend of the Braves bullpen.
He brings with him significant postseason experience. The Braves have made their first significant splash of the offseason, announcing Thursday that they've signed right-hander Evan Phillips to a three-year, $35MM contract.
