Phillies Tender Contracts to Key Arbitration Players
22 Nov
Summary
- Phillies tendered contracts to nine arbitration-eligible players.
- Jesús Luzardo, Alec Bohm, and Jhoan Duran received tenders.
- Contracts secured for 2026 season ahead of arbitration deadlines.
The Philadelphia Phillies have taken a significant step in solidifying their roster by tendering contracts to nine arbitration-eligible players. This action protects the team from losing these valuable assets to free agency and sets the stage for salary negotiations. Among the tendered players are key figures such as pitcher Jesús Luzardo, who had a career-best season, and third baseman Alec Bohm, a subject of trade rumors.
Other notable players who received tenders include closer Jhoan Duran and infielder Bryson Stott. Pitchers Tanner Banks, Rafael Marchán, and Garrett Stubbs also had their contracts secured for the 2026 season. This proactive approach by the Phillies' front office aims to retain a strong core while navigating the complexities of player contracts and potential roster changes.
While contracts for Jesús Luzardo and Alec Bohm will be significant, the team values their contributions. Meanwhile, pitchers Daniel Robert and Michael Mercado were non-tendered and will become free agents. Negotiations for the tendered players will proceed until mid-January, with arbitration panels ready to decide if agreements aren't reached.
