The 30-year-old right-hander finalized a $72 million, four-year contract with the National League champion Phillies on Friday.
Taijuan Walker wanted to keep uniform No. 99, so he figured 29 of the 30 major league teams were options.
The 30-year-old right-hander finalized a $72 million, four-year contract with the National League champion Phillies on Friday and will become the fourth Philadelphia player to wear No. 99 after Mitch Williams , Turk Wendell and So Taguchi . "Very talented individual, goes out there every five days with quality stuff," Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said. "We really love his split finger that he threw a lot more last year and will continue to do so."
Walker was selected by Seattle with the No. 43 pick in the 2010 amateur draft. He made his big league debut with the Mariners in 2013.
