Phils Add a Pair of Veteran Relievers

2022 Chachi New Additions #10
2022 Chachi New Additions #11

The Phillies jumped in with their first official significant signings on Tuesday, inking righty reliever Jeurys Familia and lefty reliever Brad Hand to a one-year contracts each worth $6 million.  I'm not a fan of the Familia signing, especially since I've witnessed several of his meltdowns firsthand, courtesy of his new team.  He'll fill the role vacated by Archie Bradley.  Familia is a veteran of ten major league seasons with the Mets and Athletics, with a lifetime record of 32-25, a 3.28 ERA and 125 saves.  His last major baseball card appearance came back in 2020 in the Topps Total set.

Brad Hand has been around since 2011, and he was an All-Star with the Padres in 2017 and the Indians in 2019.  Hand has pitched with the Marlins (2011-2015), Padres (2016-2018), Indians (2018-2020); Nationals (2021), Blue Jays (2021) and Mets (2021).  He's 32-50 with 464 career games with a 3.68 ERA and 126 saves, one more than Familia.  Hand was in the 2021 Topps Series One set.

In case you forgot, and I certainly did, here's the updated list of offseason transactions to date and I'm sure this list could be outdated by the time I post this.
