PHILADELPHIA (CBS/AP) — Three Philadelphia Phillies players are back on one-year deals that they signed hours before Friday night’s MLB arbitration deadline. And the Phils also signed a relief pitcher they recently acquired.

These are the deals the Phillies and players reached:

  • First baseman Rhys Hoskins is back on a $12 million contract.
  • Shortstop Edmundo Sosa is back on a $950,000 contract.
  • Newly acquired lefty reliever Gregory Soto has signed a $3.9 million contract.
  • Left-handed starter Ranger Suárez is back on a $2.95 million contract.

Hoskins, 29, hit 30 home runs in 2022 and then six more in the MLB postseason. Soto shores up a bullpen that now includes eight-time All-Star Craig Kimbrel.

Relievers Seranthony Domínguez and José Alvarado, who were key pieces throughout the Phillies’ National League pennant-winning playoff runare still unsigned and eligible for arbitration.

A total of 170 MLB players agreed to contracts Friday. Another 33 are going to arbitration.

Around the league, the biggest contracts were for the Padres’ Juan Soto, who got $23 million, and the Mets’ Pete Alonso, who got $14.5 million.
