Phillies Release Chase Anderson

By Darragh McDonald | August 29, 2021 at 1:39pm CDT

Right-hander Chase Anderson has been released by the Phillies, per a team announcement.

It’s been a rough couple of years for Anderson, after a solid four-season run with Milwaukee. From 2016 through 2019, he made 116 appearances, 112 starts, throwing 590 innings with an ERA of 3.83. In the midst of all that, the Brewers signed him to an extension, inking a two-year deal in October of 2017, which included options for 2020 and 2021.

However, in the two seasons since, everything has gone to pot for the righty. After being traded to the Blue Jays in November 2019, Anderson had a rough campaign for Toronto/Buffalo. In 33 2/3 innings, he had an ERA of 7.22 and then had his option declined, becoming a free agent.

The Phillies took a flier on him, signing him to a one-year, $4MM deal in February this year, hoping for a bounceback. Unfortunately, that didn’t come to fruition, as Anderson’s 2021 ERA is 6.75 in 48 innings for the Phils. He will now search for another team that’s willing to look past his recent struggles and hope for a return to his previous form.

      You can take Chase to the bank. His talent is on loan, but I’m losing interest.

          Braves bats are terrifying today. Kapler pitching his CF, he may get hurt if he throws up 60 mph lollipops. Teams should have the option to throw in the towel.

    Perfect for a team that needs to eat innings for the remainder of the year. i.e. the Twins

        1 or 2 innings for a team trying to get into the postseason. 5 innings giving up 5 runs for a bad team, who cares
