[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] Evan Phillips, a 32-year-old right-hand reliever who helped the Dodgers win the championship, became a free agent in the off-season. According to Major League Baseball’s official website, Phillips moved to the Warriors for US$35 million (approximately NT$1.1 billion) in three years, returning to the place where he started his career.

Phillips was selected by the Royals in the 2012 draft, but he did not sign at the time and chose to attend college. The Warriors selected Phillips in the 2015 draft, and he officially started his professional baseball career. He was promoted to the major leagues for the first time in 2018, but was traded to the Orioles mid-season. Phillips joined the Rays in 2021, but was picked up by the Dodgers after being DFA (designated for transfer) mid-season.

After coming to the Dodgers, Phillips regained a new lease of life. From 2022, he transformed from a marginal player in the league to become the Dodgers' most trustworthy late-inning pitcher. By 2024, he contributed 44 successful saves and 34 successful relays to the Dodgers, with an ERA of only 2.21. He was a major contributor to the 2024 championship. However, in 2025, Phillips only pitched 7 games before entering the injured list, and TJ surgery was reimbursed in late May.

However, this season, Phillips came back with full blood in the second half of the season. He pitched in 31 games and pitched 26 innings with 33 strikeouts and an ERA of 3.46. In the playoffs, he pitched 3 scoreless innings in 5 games and had a perfect 0.00 ERA. Now Phillips returns to where he started, adding another clutch option to the Braves bullpen.
