Brad Keller’s latest contract news centers on a 2-year deal worth $22 million with the Philadelphia Phillies, finalized in December 2025 after a strong 2025 season with the Cubs. The agreement includes a $4 million signing bonus and salaries of $7 million in 2026 and $11 million in 2027, pending a successful physical. Keller’s performance resurgence—finishing 2025 with a 2.07 ERA across 68 appearances—helped drive the signing [sources indicating the deal and terms]. This contract aligns with the Phillies’ bullpen investments ahead of the 2026 season. If you’d like, I can summarize reception from analysts or compare this to other bullpen moves from that winter.[1][5]
