Source: Phillies Finalizing 2-year Deal With Tommy Hunter

Matt Klentak keeps adding to his bullpen.

The Phillies are finalizing a two-year deal with reliever Tommy Hunter, a source confirmed to NBC Sports Philadelphia's Jim Salisbury on Tuesday night.

The experienced right-hander will join veteran righty Pat Neshek, who is on the verge of re-signing with the Phillies, multiple sources said on Monday (see story).

Hunter, 31, has played for five teams over parts of 10 seasons. In 61 games with the Rays in 2017, Hunter posted a career-best 2.61 ERA and .202 opponents' batting average in 58 2/3 innings, to go with 64 strikeouts and 14 walks.
