He will be 37 when this contract expires and will have the opportunity to pursue a “career with the Phillies.”
Dave Dombrowski, president of the team’s baseball department, said, “Signing Nola has been our top priority since the beginning of the offseason. We want to win, and having him continue to wear a Phillies uniform next year will help us.” “He’s proven himself to be one of the best and most durable pitchers in recent years, and given his leadership, his personality, it’s very important for us to keep him with the Phillies.”
Major League Baseball reports that after the Phillies complete their contract with Nola, they will continue to pursue Yushin Yamamoto. Harper is also included in the briefing video submitted to the Yamamoto team, showing his sincerity in recruitment.
