MINNEAPOLIS (AP)—Right-hander Clay Condrey(notes) and the Minnesota Twins have agreed to terms on a one-year, free-agent contract.
The Twins announced the deal with the former Philadelphia Phillies reliever Wednesday. Minnesota also released right-handed reliever Bobby Keppel(notes).

The 34-year-old Condrey became a free agent after pitching four seasons for Philadelphia, going 6-2 with a 3.00 ERA in 42 innings last year for the NL champions. Condrey walked 14 and struck out 25. He became a free agent when the Phillies did not tender him a contract in December.
Over parts of six major league seasons, two with the San Diego Padres, Condrey has a record of 18-12 with a 4.10 ERA.

Keppel will play in Japan. He had a 4.83 ERA in 54 innings with 21 walks and 32 strikeouts last year for the Twins.

This is a good move. Condrey could be a very good addition.

His numbers were pretty good in Philly...hopefully that can carry over.

Not only were his numbers decent there, he did well in the pennant races. Pressure doesn't seem to get to him. The bullpen is better now than it was before.
