It's tough to say that the Philadelphia Phillies made the perfect decision when they went out and signed David Robertson on Sunday night. Robertson has already pitched in Philadelphia throughout his career and was staying ready during the early stages of the year.

After not finding the contract that he sought in free agency last winter, David Robertson returned home to Rhode Island with unplanned leisure time on his calendar. “I played a lot of tennis,” he said.

The Philadelphia Phillies are set to sign veteran right-handed reliever David Robertson to a one-year, $5.5 million deal prorated at $16 million.
