""Phillips, non-tendered by the Dodgers, is delaying signing a new contract until January (when he starts throwing off the mound) or even July-ish (when he is expected to return to game action). He is seeking a one-year contract so that he can reestablish himself as healthy and effective, and take a bigger swing in free agency next offseason.""
"Phillips had been with the Dodgers for five seasons, posting a 2.22 ERA through 201 appearances with LA. He underwent Tommy John surgery during the 2025 season, and is likely to miss the most of the 2026 season. The Dodgers have shown interest in bringing Phillips back to Los Angeles, but the Boston Red Sox are also in for the reliever, per The Boston Globe's Tim Healey."
