Phillies Sign Joe Ross to One-Year Deal to Bolster Pitching Depth

The 31-year-old right-hander, who excelled in a relief role last season, joins Philadelphia's roster with a $4 million contract.

Joe Ross, a veteran pitcher with seven MLB seasons, signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Ross posted a 3.77 ERA last season with the Milwaukee Brewers, excelling as a reliever with a 1.67 ERA in 15 bullpen appearances.
The Phillies aim to use Ross as a versatile piece for rotation depth or multi-inning relief, filling the gap left by free agent Spencer Turnbull.
Ross returned to the majors in 2023 after a three-year absence due to Tommy John surgery, demonstrating resilience and effectiveness upon his return.
This signing follows other Phillies offseason moves, including acquiring Jesús Luzardo as a fifth starter and signing reliever Jordan Romano.
