Option declined by Phillies
Neshek's $7 million club option for 2020 was declined by the Phillies on Thursday, making him a free agent, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
Analysis
The 39-year-old was plagued by shoulder and hamstring injuries in 2019, which may have helped contribute to a 5.00 ERA over 20 appearances. It's unclear whether a team will take a chance on the right-hander after he only managed to log 42.1 innings over the past two seasons due to injuries.

Neshek's 14-year major-league career may finally be at an end. Shoulder, forearm and hamstring injuries combined to limit him to just 42.1 innings over the last two seasons. In his 18.0 innings in 2019, he stumbled to a 5.00 ERA while striking out just 11.4% of opposing batters. The 39-year-old has gotten by with moderate strikeout rates in the past, but there's presumably a lower limit to how far that number can go while a pitcher remains successful. If the veteran intends to keep pitching, he'll likely be able to find work. In the seven seasons prior to last year, he recorded an ERA of 2.51, never recording an ERA above 3.62. It's certainly possible that a team believes his 2019 campaign was a small-sample blip. Even if he does fill a role somewhere this season, he's unlikely to pitch in the ninth inning or strike out a high number of batters, limiting his fantasy appeal.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Probably will become free agent
Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com expects Neshek to have his $7 million option for 2020 declined by the Phillies.
Analysis
Neshek returned to Philly after his 2.59 ERA in 2018 but fell flat with a 5.00 ERA this past season, posting another emaciated K/9 (4.5). The 39-year-old could eventually luck into a high-leverage role for another bullpen after a probable buyout of $750,000.
