Veteran right-hander reliever Joaquin Benoit agreed to a one-year, $7.5 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, the team announced on Tuesday.
Benoit, who recently turned 39, has been a strong setup man for most of his career. His 0.98 WHIP over the past seven seasons trails only Kenley Jansen (0.89) and Craig Kimbrel (0.95) among relievers.
