Seeking their third World Series championship following titles in 1980 and 2008, the Phillies will do what they can this week to stay sharp ahead of Game 1 on Saturday in the NL Division Series.
Bryce Harper snagged a one-hopper on an infield drill, earning a "nice play, Harp!" from manager Rob Thomson. A two-time NL MVP, Harper later chucked a baseball from first base into the left field seats."That won’t get it done," infield coach Bobby Dickerson yelled. "That guy’s going to score."Harper and the rest of the NL East champion Phillies will do what they can this week to stay sharp ahead of Game 1 Saturday in the NL Division Series.
His teams in Detroit lost twice in the World Series and the Phillies fell to Houston in 2022.Who knows how many more chances the core of this team will get to win a championship under Thomson.The Phillies had an opening day payroll just north of $243 million this season, about $7.2 million more than last season’s team. They signed potential Game 2 starter Cristopher Sánchez to a $22.5 million, four-year contract through 2028.
