The Los Angeles Dodgers have officially lost right-handed reliever Evan Phillips, who has signed a three-year deal with a National League rival.

On Thursday, the Atlanta Braves announced that they signed Phillips to a three-year, $35 million deal.

Phillips is set to make $11 million in 2027 and 2028, and $13 million in 2029.

The 32-year-old Phillips was one of nine Dodger free agents this offseason, and undoubtedly one of their most important.

Phillips joined LA midway through the 2021 season and quickly developed into one of the game's most trusted relievers after struggling early in his career with the Braves, Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays.

In his first full season with the Dodgers in 2022, Phillips made a career-high 64 appearances, finishing with a 1.14 ERA and 77 strikeouts over 63 innings. He continued his dominance in 2023 with a 2.05 ERA over 62 appearances.

After making another 61 appearances in 2024 and finishing with a slightly inflated 3.62 ERA, Phillips underwent Tommy John surgery in 2025.

The Dodgers non-tendered Phillips last offseason but brought him back on a one-year, $6.5 million deal. He made his return in July and finished with a 3.46 ERA and 33 strikeouts over 26 innings in the regular season.
