As the upcoming MLB season approaches, the Philadelphia Phillies are poised to be a team to watch, with expectations running high due to prominent players like Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper, who are anticipated to lead the charge this year.
Also making waves within the Phillies organization is veteran pitcher Aaron Nola, who’s spent his entire career with Philadelphia and is entering his 12th year with the team. When asked about his aspirations for the season, he made a bold proclamation about the Phillies’ World Series ambitions.
“We have the team to go back to the World Series. That’s our goal. We all believe that we can win one. We all love each other. It’s a really close clubhouse, so with this group, it would definitely be special,” Nola told the media before the spring training games.
With this positive atmosphere and the anticipation surrounding the organization during the offseason, manager Rob Thomson and his crew are ready to go all out this season, aiming to compete in the World Series and secure another title for Philadelphia.
