"President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman revealed there is a chance for the defending champions to bring Phillips back in free agency. "We had a number of back and forth discussions with Evan and his agent," Friedman said. " It is challenging with him coming off surgery so he is going to take some time and look to sign after he throws off the mound when his rehab allows."
"A report from Tim Healey of the Boston Globe stated the Dodgers free agent is hoping to sign a one-year deal and return to the market next offseason. Phillips could delay signing with a team until July, when he is expected to be healthy. The Boston Red Sox are among teams interested in the 31-year-old, per Healey's report."
"Phillips' 2025 season was cut short, making seven appearances without allowing a run. He was placed on the injured list in May and underwent Tommy John surgery in July. There's no telling how Phillips will fare in his return, but he played a key role in the Dodgers' 2024 World Series run."
Evan Phillips underwent Tommy John surgery in July after being placed on the injured list in May, ending his 2025 season after seven scoreless appearances. The Dodgers non-tendered him in November partly because of uncertainty around his recovery, but the team has continued conversations and may re-sign him when his rehab allows mound throwing. Phillips hopes to sign a one-year deal and could delay signing until July when he is expected to be healthy. The Boston Red Sox are reported to have interest in the 31-year-old reliever.
