Desperation Mode

The Philadelphia Phillies just signed a right-handed starter who’s had brief stints with the Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves. It’s a move that smells like desperation, but hey, it’s worth a shot.

The Pitch

This guy’s got some potential, but his track record is all over the place. He had a strong debut, then promptly fell apart. The Phillies are hoping he can recapture some of that early magic, but it’s a long shot. Let’s be real, it’s not like they’ve got a ton of other options.
