EMERGENCY POD!

News broke on Monday night that the Phillies and Jesús Luzardo have agreed to a five-year, $135 million contract extension, keeping him in a Phillies uniform through at least 2031. The Phillies also have a $32.5 million club option for 2032. The Phillies Show’s very own Jim Salisbury was first with the contract details. (This is why you listen to the show, folks.) We break down the deal. What do we like? What don’t we like?

And which Phillies player is next in line for a contract extension?

Kyle Schwarber reminded everybody on Saturday that he’s one of the most feared, most highly regarded hitters in baseball. He crushed a tie-breaking home run against Great Britain in the World Baseball Classic. Schwarber has hit fourth and first for Team USA in the team’s first two games. It got us thinking about his potential for enshrinement in Cooperstown, N.Y.

If everybody does their thing, the Phillies’ rotation is the team’s strength in 2026.

There are questions, but the early performances from Cristopher Sanchez, Jesus Luzardo, Aaron Nola, Andrew Painter and Taijuan Walker have been encouraging. And so has the work of Zack Wheeler.

We also discuss Jhoan Duran’s first spring appearance, Bryce Harper’s spring and the World Baseball Classic.
