Signs two-year deal with Phillies The Phillies signed Keller to a two-year, $22 million contract Wednesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Keller was a full-time reliever for the first time in 2025 with the Cubs and excelled, collecting a 2.07 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 75:22 K:BB over 69.2 regular-season innings. The Phillies presumably intend to keep him in a bullpen role, though his past starting experience allows for the possibility that he could make some starts, if needed. If Keller is indeed pegged for relief, he would be in line to help set up for closer Jhoan Duran.
