Phillies' Jeremy Bleich: Inks deal with Phillies

Bleich agreed to a minor-league deal with Philadelphia on Friday, which includes an invite to spring training.

Bleich spent a majority of last season at the Triple-A level within Oakland's system, posting a 2.63 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 51.1 innings of relief. He did earn his first promotion to the big leagues at age 31, but Bleich failed to find any success during his two outings. Expect him to serve as depth for the Phillies in the minors.
