Philip Matthew Seibel, (born January 28, 1979). is a left-handed starting/relief baseball pitcher, currently with the Boston Red Sox. His professional career began in 2000 when he was drafted in the 8th round by the Montreal Expos. In April 2002 he was traded along with two other players to the New York Mets for Bruce Chen, Dicky Gonzalez, Luis Figueroa, and a player to be named later (Saul Rivera). Following the 2003 season, Seibel was placed on waivers by the Mets and picked up by Boston.

Seibel made his major league debut on April 15, 2004, and faced just two batters. The first batter reached on an error, and the second batter walked. He also pitched on April 18, 2004, against the New York Yankees, where he pitched 3 2/3 scoreless, hitless innings, and received a no-decision in the Red Sox loss. He walked 5 and struck out one.

After joining the Red Sox for their 2006 spring training in Florida as a non-roster invitee, he was shipped back to the minors on March 17. So far in 2006, he has a 6-3 record in the minors, and has not allowed a run in the first four relief appearances since joing the AAA Pawtucket Red Sox.

Phil Seibel is currently on Boston Red Sox major league roster, as of Novermber 21, 2006.
