MLB: Miami Marlins at New York Mets - Source: Imagn
Jesus Luzardo, a left-handed starting pitcher in the National League, is going to have a new home in 2025. He has been pitching for the Miami Marlins, but he will move to a new team in the NL East this season. The Philadelphia Phillies landed him in a trade, and they had to beat out a number of other suitors to get that done.
Luzardo has had a successful start to his MLB career, but he was dealt with a back injury (a lumbar stress reaction) in the middle of the 2024 season. He threw only 66.1 innings a season ago, and he went just 3-6 with a 5.00 ERA. The Phillies still wanted to acquire the southpaw, and he's expecting to return to form in 2025.
