Source: Brewers add righty Phelps to bullpen

MLB

Free-agent reliever David Phelps has agreed to a contract with the Milwaukee Brewers, a source confirmed to ESPN.

The news was first reported by The Athletic. MLB.com reports the deal is for one-year and includes a club option for 2021.

Phelps, 33, ended last season with the Chicago Cubs, who acquired him in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays before the trade deadline.

Between the two teams, the right-hander made 41 appearances, going 2-1 with a save and a 3.41 ERA. The seven-year veteran is 32-34 with six saves and a 3.86 ERA in his career.

The Brewers’ addition of a reliever from the Cubs comes a day after Chicago signed a former Brewers reliever, adding Jeremy Jeffress on a one-year deal.

ESPN’s Jesse Rogers contributed to this report.
