Phillies Sign Connor Gillispie to Minor-League Contract
The Phillies have signed Connor Gillispie to a minor-league contract, according to Steve Potter of PhilliesBaseballFan.com. This move provides the team with additional depth in their Triple-A Lehigh Valley rotation.
Gillispie, a right-handed pitcher, had a challenging season last year. He made six starts for the Marlins, allowing 26 runs (25 earned) over 26 innings, resulting in a 7.23 ERA. His performance at the Triple-A level was equally concerning, with a 28:25 K:BB ratio in 47.1 innings. Despite these struggles, the Phillies believe he can contribute to their minor-league system.
