McCutchen, Phillies agree on a contract

A person familiar with the negotiations told the Associated Press that outfielder Andrew McCutchen and the Philadelphia Phillies agreed to a $50-million, three-year contract.

The person spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the agreement, which includes a club option for 2022, is subject to a physical.

McCutchen was an All-Star each season from 2011 to 2015 and spent nine years with the Pittsburgh Pirates before being traded to the San Francisco Giants last offseason. He was dealt to the New York Yankees on Aug. 31 and hit .255 with 20 home runs and 65 RBIs in 155 games overall.

Tulowitzki is released

Troy Tulowitzki was released by the Toronto Blue Jays, who owe the often-injured shortstop $38 million on the remaining two years of his contract.

Tulowitzki, 34, has not played in the majors since July 2017 and was limited to 66 games that year because of a hamstring and right ankle injury. The ankle required surgery last spring and he sat out the season.

Tulowitzki was selected by Colorado with the seventh overall pick in the 2005 amateur draft and became a fivetime All-Star.

The Rockies agreed after the 2010 season to a $157.75million, 10-year contract that added $132 million over seven seasons, then traded him in July 2015 to Toronto.

Nova goes to White Sox

Right-hander Ivan Nova was acquired by the Chicago White Sox from the Pirates for 19-year-old minor league pitcher Yordi Rosario and $500,000 in international signing bonus pool allocation.

Nova, 31, was 9-9 with a 4.19 earned-run average in 29 starts, striking out 114 in 161 innings. He is 78-64 with a 4.26 ERA in nine seasons with the Yankees and Pirates.

Nova will be in the final season of a $26-million, threeyear contract.

Herrmann to the A’s

The Oakland Athletics and catcher Chris Herrmann agreed to a $1-million, one-year contract.

Herrmann, 31, played 36 games for Seattle last season, batting .237 with two home runs and seven RBIs.

Rays delay

Tampa Bay Rays owner

Stuart Sternberg says the team’s planned ballpark for Tampa’s Ybor City can’t be finalized by this month’s deadline and he will reopen the site search, delaying any opening until at least 2024.

The team has played since 1998 at what is now Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla., where its lease ends in 2027.
