Phillies Owner Delivered Fiery The Philadelphia Phillies will begin their season on Saturday, February 24, with the inaugural Spring Training game, as they seek their first World Series title since 2008. They were close in 2022, falling two games short after leading 2-1 over the Houston Astros. Last year, the Phillies appeared to be on their way to another Fall Classic, but they blew a 3-2 lead at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Players have talked all offseason about using their disappointment as motivation in 2024, and it appears that everyone is eager to get back on the field. Perhaps no one is more ready for Opening Day on March 28 than Philadelphia’s owner, John Middleton. He is as determined as ever to bringing another World Series championship to the city, judging by the amount of money he has spent to put this squad together.
Middleton reportedly delivered a furious address to the club during Spring Training, repeating the warning he gave Ryan Howard 15 years ago. “I want our f—- trophy returned. Go grab it. “It is time.” With the current star-studded roster, they are clearly in position to win the World Series. J.T. Realmuto spoke with John Clark of NBC Philadelphia on what the owner had said.
