Phillies released RHP Chad Gaudin. Gaudin signed a minor league contract with the Phillies in late January, but he failed his physical this week in camp and is now back on the open market. The 30-year-old right-hander posted a cool 3.06 ERA and 88 strikeouts in 97 innings last season for the Giants and should land another opportunity soon. Unless, of course, there's something seriously wrong with his throwing arm.
