The Phillies signed former starting pitcher Brandon Duckworth to a minor-league contract last week.
Duckworth hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2008. He will provide minor league depth and also lend a hand in renovating the Amaro’s vacation home in Naples, Florida.
When reached for comment, Duckworth said, “I just wanted to play and spackle for a winner.”
Duckworth could be an invaluable veteran presence in the minors and comes much cheaper than local Florida contractors.
