Jesús Luzardo Signs Five-Year, $135 Million Extension with Phillies

The Phillies have signed left-hander Jesús Luzardo to a five-year, $135 million extension covering 2027-2031, with a 2032 club option. After a 2025 campaign where he went 15-7 with a 3.92 ERA and 216 strikeouts, the organization unanimously prioritized his retention. Luzardo, who credited the Phillies' coaching staff for his development of a dominant sweeper, is viewed by teammates like J.T. Realmuto as a future Cy Young contender.
