Neftalí Feliz News
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed veteran relief pitcher Neftali Feliz to a minor league contract on Tuesday after he was recently released by the Philadelphia Phillies. The 33-year-old former American League Rookie of the Year in 2010 allowed four earned runs on four hits (one home run) in just one inning pitched for the Phillies before they gave him the boot. Before signing with Philadelphia, Feliz hadn't pitched in the major leagues since 2017, when he spent time with the Milwaukee Brewers and Kansas City Royals. It's highly unlikely that the right-hander will make it back to the Show with the Dodgers.
The Philadelphia Phillies signed relief pitcher Neftali Feliz, catcher Christian Bethancourt, infielder Ronald Torreyes and right-hander Michael Ynoa to minor league deals on Monday. The 32-year-old Feliz won the American League Rookie of the Year and was an All-Star for the Rangers in 2010, but he hasn't pitched in the majors since 2017. Bethancourt, 29, has played in 161 games in five seasons (2013-17) and will provide the team with catching depth as they try to re-sign J.T. Realmuto. Torreyes has played in 240 games over parts of six big league seasons and started four games last September for Philly. Ynoa, 29, has a 4.42 ERA in 45 career outings with the White Sox from 2016-17.
Free-agent relief pitcher Neftali Feliz signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to Robert Murray of FanRag Sports. Earlier Sunday, Murray said that the free-agent right-hander had received interest from the Giants, Cubs, Braves, Angels and Reds, but the Diamondbacks will add the 29-year-old. Feliz recently received a clean bill of health from Dr. James Andrews and feels great by all accounts. While he only has a 5.06 ERA and 20 saves over the last three seasons (147 2/3 innings), Feliz did have 85 saves and a 2.65 ERA in 210 2/3 innings from 2010-2014. He topped 30 saves in both 2010 and 2011 and could get save opportunities in an Arizona bullpen that currently has reliever Archie Bradley as the projected closer.
