Rojas: Contreras signs with Phillies

The NL Champion (World Series losing) Phillies have bolstered their bullpen with ex-Yankee Jose Contreras, according to ESPNDeportes.com’s Enrique Rojas.

The deal is pending a physical and we only know it’s a one-year deal.

Contreras, 38, was great out of the bullpen for the Rockies last year after stinking up the joint in the White Sox rotation.

The deal comes about a month after the Phillies acquired Roy Halladay in the biggest blockbuster deal of the winter and yesterday’s re-signing of Joe Blanton to a three-year deal. But Contreras will most likely be staying in the bullpen for the Phillies.
