Robert Stephenson Drawing Interest From Dodgers, Mets, Phillies
11 months agoFree agent reliever Robert Stephenson is receiving interest from the Los Angeles Dodgers and a pair of NL East teams, namely the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies. It has been reported that there are numerous teams with significant interest in the right-hander. A converted starter, Stephenson has found far more success as a reliever and enjoyed a career year in 2023. The 2011 first-round pick worked to a career-best 3.10 ERA and a massive 30.3% K-BB% in 60 appearances split between the Pirates and Rays a season ago. However, he took off upon landing in Tampa Bay as he tossed an eye-popping 1.50 ERA alongside a monstrous 42.9% while holding opposing hitters to a minuscule .114 batting average in the season's second half. A lucrative multi-year deal is well within reach for the 30-year-old.
