Archie Bradley

Bradley joined the Phillies on a one-year deal after a successful 2020 season with Arizona and Philadelphia. He performed admirably over the past two seasons as the Diamondbacks' closer, and last year put up a very solid 2.95 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 24.7% strikeout rate. The Phillies were open about their desire to add some velocity to their bullpen and Bradley does just that. But although Joe Girardi has indicated he'd like set roles for the Phillies' bullpen, those roles may not be decided until close to the end of spring training. Bradley is worth drafting, but only late, as he may go back to his former role as a setup man.

The Phillies have come to terms on a one-year, $6 million deal with free agent reliever Archie Bradley.

Fantasy Impact

Philadelphia once again desperately needed bullpen help this offseason. Bradley will certainly help. The 28-year-old posted a 2.95 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP in 16 appearances between the Diamondbacks and Reds last season. It's unclear who the primary closer will be between Bradley and Hector Neris, but both should be on the late-round radar until we hear more information.
