Phillies signed RHP Juan Cruz to a minor league contract.
He'll receive an invitation to spring training. Cruz posted a 2.78 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 33/19 K/BB ratio over 35 2/3 innings for the Pirates last season before they decided to cut him loose in August. The veteran reliever should have a decent shot at grabbing one of the final spots in the Phils' pen.
