Right-hander Chase Anderson has been released by the Phillies, per a team announcement.
It’s been a rough couple of years for Anderson, after a solid four-season run with Milwaukee. From 2016 through 2019, he made 116 appearances, 112 starts, throwing 590 innings with an ERA of 3.83. In the midst of all that, the Brewers signed him to an extension, inking a two-year deal in October of 2017, which included options for 2020 and 2021.
However, in the two seasons since, everything has gone to pot for the righty. After being traded to the Blue Jays in November 2019, Anderson had a rough campaign for Toronto/Buffalo. In 33 2/3 innings, he had an ERA of 7.22 and then had his option declined, becoming a free agent.
The Phillies took a flier on him, signing him to a one-year, $4MM deal in February this year, hoping for a bounceback. Unfortunately, that didn’t come to fruition, as Anderson’s 2021 ERA is 6.75 in 48 innings for the Phils. He will now search for another team that’s willing to look past his recent struggles and hope for a return to his previous form.
Time to retire or go to Korea
Wow, I did not see this coming.
You can take Chase to the bank. His talent is on loan, but I’m losing interest.
Imma Chase you with pitch forks
Hee hee
tstats; Imma Chase you with pitch forks
Guess I”m stuck with you
Slow Sunday
Just wait some big injury is bound to happen today, I can feel it
Braves bats are terrifying today. Kapler pitching his CF, he may get hurt if he throws up 60 mph lollipops. Teams should have the option to throw in the towel.
Slater?? Why not pitch someone fun like Crawford
Curly- nyuk nyuk nyuk
The Mets can use him… Would fit right in…. Terrible with terrible…
Perfect for a team that needs to eat innings for the remainder of the year. i.e. the Twins
He ‘eats’ 1 to 2 innings a start.
1 or 2 innings for a team trying to get into the postseason. 5 innings giving up 5 runs for a bad team, who cares
You mean regurgitate innings. This guy is awful.
No wonder, he is terrible
Probably sign in Korea next year
Phils a $4M “flier” on him? Dumb
That’s two lousy showings with two different teams. Time to go pitch for the Ham Fighters.
Boy was he awful. Bet he can roll an awesome doobie with that awesome hemp necklace he wore
I thought you acted and played like a solid professional in Milwaukee! Tough times make you better! Good Luck and God Bless you!
On your mark, get set, terrible.
NEVER SHOULD HAVE SIGNED HIM DUMBO WHAT YOU PAID HIM AND MATT MOORE
COULD HAVE SIGNED SOMEONE MUCH BETTER
