According the AP, the Phillies have given a three year extension to closer Brad Lidge. Its reported that the contract is worth $37.5 million.

Lidge has a 0.77 ERA since coming to Philly, though a 2.18 against the Mets. He’s given up just three runs in 35 appearances this season.

Smart move by Philly, considering how well Lidge has done since getting traded there. Anyone that can pitch at CBP and still have an ERA that low needs to be held onto.
