The Philadelphia Phillies have finalized a one-year, $2 million contract with right-handed pitcher Spencer Turnbull, which includes an additional $2 million in performance bonuses. Turnbull, 31, previously played for the Tigers and has a career ERA of 4.55 across 61 games, including 60 starts. His signing, confirmed by a source and similar to the deal the Phillies made with Kolby Allard, involves major-league money for a player with a minor-league option, likely indicating he will start in AAA as depth. To accommodate Turnbull on the 40-man roster, the Phillies designated RHP McKinley Moore for assignment. Moore, who had shown promise in the previous spring but struggled during the season, was subsequently claimed off waivers by the New York Yankees. In related roster moves, INF/OF Diego Castillo, also designated for assignment by the Phillies, was claimed by the Orioles.
