With the Philadelphia Phillies in the midst of spring training, the team and pitcher Jesus Luzardo have agreed on a new contract extension that is sure to excite fans. After Luzardo got a $11 million Phillies contract to avoid arbitration in early January, both sides have agreed on a deal.

According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, Philadelphia and Luzardo are locked in on a five-year contract that is worth $135 million.

“BREAKING: Left-hander Jesús Luzardo and the Philadelphia Phillies are in agreement on a five-year contract extension, sources tell ESPN,” Passan wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Luzardo, 28, was set to become a free agent after this season. The new deal will begin in 2027 and locks up one of baseball’s best young arms.”

“Jesús Luzardo’s five-year extension is for $135 million, sources tell ESPN,” Luzaro continued. “The deal, negotiated by Roger Tomas and Brodie Van Wagenen of Roc Nation, puts Luzardo among the highest-paid left-handed pitchers in baseball and solidifies the Phillies’ rotation going forward.”
