"Phillies Ink One-Year Deal with Veteran Southpaw"

The Philadelphia Phillies have signed 26-year-old left-hander Kolby Allard to a one-year deal, adding pitching depth to their roster. Allard, who spent last season with the Braves, could provide rotation depth for the team and has one option year remaining, giving the Phillies flexibility to move him between Triple A and the majors as needed.
