According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports, the Philadelphia Phillies considered right-handed pitcher Chad Gaudin. The Phillies have been seeking an upgrade to both their starting pitching rotation and bullpen, but they ultimately decided that Gaudin was not an upgrade to their pitching staff.

Gaudin had been released by the Yankees earlier this week. The pitcher did clear waivers and is owed $737,500 of his $2.95 million contract by the Yankees.

Gaudin appeared in 31 games last year for the Yankees and Padres compiling a 4.64 ERA. Gaudin had struggled in spring training appearing in 4 games for the Yankees and allowing 10 runs. You can see Gaudin’s statistics here.
