The Philadelphia Phillies have secured pitcher Jesús Luzardo with a five-year, $135 million contract extension, preventing him from entering free agency after the 2026 season. The 28-year-old lefty had an impressive first year with the team, achieving a 15-7 record, a 3.92 ERA, and 216 strikeouts, ranking second in the NL. Luzardo strengthens the Phillies’ rotation alongside Zack Wheeler and Cristopher Sanchez as they aim for a World Series title. This marks Luzardo’s third team after stints with the Nationals, Athletics, and Marlins.
