Contreras, 38 years old  was 5-13 last year with a 5.42 ERA last year with the Chicago White Sox. He was the traded to the Colorado Rockies. After traded to the Rockies, he posted a 1-0 record with a 1.59 ERA including 2 starts. The Cubs and the Cardinals were interested in him before him signing with the Phils. 

The deal is pending a physical.

I think this is a good signing, it shores up our relief pitching staff
