Ibanez, Phillies agrees to deal

The Phillies have agreed to a three-year contract with free-agent outfielder
Raul Ibanez, pending a physical. The deal is believed to be worth $30 million
over three years.
The 36-year-old Ibanez will become the Phillies' new every-day leftfielder,
and his signing means the Phillies no longer will pursue their long-time
leftfielder, Pat Burrell, who is also a free agent.
Ibanez had drawn significant interest from a number of teams, including the
Cubs, Mets, Angels and Braves. But he had been sending signals through
friends that the Phillies were his first choice. And the Phillies stepped up
their efforts to sign him Thursday after it became known that the Angels were
also negotiating the parameters of a deal with Ibanez as their No. 1
alternative if they lost out in efforts to sign Mark Teixeira.
Ibanez, who turns 37 next June, has spent the past five seasons with the
Mariners, where he was a long-time favorite of outgoing Phillies GM Pat
Gillick. He hit .293 this season, with 23 homers, 110 RBIs, a .358 on-base
percentage and a .472 slugging percentage. He is one of just five outfielders
who have driven in at least 100 runs in each of the last three seasons. The
others: Carlos Beltran, Magglio Ordonez, Carlos Lee and Bobby Abreu.
