Sources told MLB.com today the Phillies and right-hander Chad Durbin have agreed to terms on a one-year deal, pending a physical. The deal includes a club option for 2014.
Durbin, 35, pitched for the Phillies from 2008-10, when he helped solidify the middle innings.
He went 4-1 with a 3.10 ERA in 76 appearances last season with the Atlanta Braves. He had a 2.33 ERA from April 18 through the end of the regular season, and carried a 0.83 ERA in 28 appearances against the National League East.
Interesting. Durbin had his best season since 2008 last year following a terrible stint with the Indians in 2011. Hardly exciting, but… you know. Like Chad.
