Chan Ho Park and the Philadelphia
Phillies have finalized their $2.5 million, one-year contract.
The 35-year-old
right-hander went 4-4 with a 3.40 ERA in 54 appearances for the Los Angeles
Dodgers last season. He was 1-0 with a 2.16 ERA as a starter and 3-4 with a
3.84 ERA in relief.
Park could compete
with Kyle Kendrick, J.A. Happ and prospect Carlos Carrasco for the fifth spot
in the rotation. Adam Eaton, under contract for $8.5 million this season, isn't
in the mix.
A former All-Star in
2001, Park can earn an additional $2.5 million in performance bonuses.
He averaged 15 wins per
season over a five-year span from 1997-2001 with the Dodgers. He was a combined
75-49 in that time with a career-high 18 wins in 2000. In 98 career relief appearances,
Park is 5-7 with a 4.44 ERA.
