The New York Yankees acquire Chad Qualls from the Phillies
The Yankees have acquired 33-year old righty reliever Chad Qualls from the Phillies for cash considerations. Qualls pitched in 35 games (0 starts) for the Phillies this year and he was 1-1 with a 4.60 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP. He has now pitched in 572 games (0 starts) in his first 9 years in the majors and he is 39-35 with 51 saves, a 3.82 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP. The Yankees hope Qualls will help them in middle relief and the price was right to take a chance on him.
