Jesús Luzardo: After spending six years between the Oakland A’s and Miami Marlins I am looking forward to having fun playing professional baseball for the first time in my life. 

Trea Turner: I want to be more of myself this year because God knows I have yet to be that since I got to Philadelphia.

Weston Wilson:  I am your right-handed outfield bat. 

José Ruiz: I will be a mainstay in the pen come year’s end. 

Zack Wheeler: I am going to win the Cy Young award I was supposed to win twice now.

Jordan Romano: You’re looking at a returning high-end closer this year.

Edmundo Sosa:  Swing as hard as humanly possible no matter the consequences. Did you all see that dinger I hit versus the Braves last year?!

JT Realmuto: I don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions. 

Johan Rojas:  The bat will be as good as the glove… I hope

Joe Ross: I will do anything and everything pitching at a slightly above-average level. 

Alec Bohm: Instead of loving this place, learn to love myself this year. Even if this team might not want me, I want me. 

Brandon Marsh: Stay loose and sexy! Also, try to not be absolutely dumbfounded by left-handed pitchers. 

Garrett Stubbs: What?

Aaron Nola: I’d like to be left alone to just throw baseballs, thank you.

Max Kepler:  I will channel the last time I was great (2019).

Matt Strahm:  *Eats* up the competition and steals the Declaration of Independence. 

Kyle Schwarber: Mash Taters and go get me a new contract. I’m going to try and not lead off this year.

Ranger Suarez: I am going to complete a full season. I also want to get paid and feel wanted, please. 

Bryson Stott: It is time to channel that dad strength. Also, we will not call ourselves the daycare anymore since we’re 28. 

Taijuan Walker: The Phillies will only slightly regret my contract this year!

Tanner Banks: I played for the White Sox for two and a half years. I just want to enjoy the vibes.

José Alvarado: As a self-proclaimed fatty I will get back to my fat ways of making batters look stupid at the plate.

Bryce Harper: I would like to go one season without some sort of bizarro world injury, that would be really nice.

Orion Kerkering:  I will make the All-Star Game this year.

Christopher Sanchez: My changeup will hurt even more batters than last year. 

Nick Castellanos:  For all of this universe it remains to be seen if any chance instance is defined by hope. It remains within one’s self to educate and to learn from their individual shortcomings. Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. I am a man both capable and incapable of meaningful change. I do not like Rob Manfred.  Are you aware that Scooby Doo is a superhero?

  • Tyles at The Bank

    When Tyles' grandfather emigrated from Maida, Calabria, Italy, he most likely had no idea that he would one day have a grandson who would one day fall victim to the ultimate virus: Philadelphia sports fandom. While intelligent and well informed by most metrics, he has been quite the victim of false prophets over the years. Jerome McDougle, Kevin Kolb, Dominic Brown, Nick Pivetta, Ben Simmons, Markelle Fultz, and not to mention countless free agents. All players who would push his teams to the next level. Unfortunately he will believe again and never truly stop. While being way too overly invested in all 5 main sports, his favorite team among the bunch is the Phillies. You can tell the level of perversion that exists within someone who lives and dies with the losingest franchise in sports history. Philadelphia sports remain the ever present, painful siren in his life. For who? We’re not sure. For what? He questions that on an almost daily basis. A quarter century of fandom filled with substantially more pain than joy, but he sticks with it because…we will always get ’em next year.
