Bryce Harper on

Network: “I love the city of Philadelphia. I'm so grateful to know that I signed in the right place, with the right people, with the right organization.”
#Phillies
Source tells me this potential deal with Nola does not preclude the
#Phillies
from still going after top-tier names, such as Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
The club is also considering a potential extension with Zack Wheeler. His deal ends after the 2024 season.
Per source, Spencer Howard is one of the names tied to the asking price for Kyle Gibson. Gibson is under contract through next season and is having a career year with Texas (6-3, 2.87 ERA).

Spoken with sources to confirm La Salle will reinstate baseball for the 2025-26 school year. It may not be visible now, but the work former head coach David Miller (
@milstime
) and James Santore (
@JamesSantore
) did in trying to save the program played a major role in its return.
La Salle (
@LaSalleBase
) continues to be one of the top 3 storylines in the world of college baseball. The Explorers took care of Fordham over the weekend, winning 3 of 4 on the road. The club sits in first place in the A10 North and has set a program record with 32 wins.
Tommy Courtney (
@tcourt_
) of Penn (
@PennBaseball
) had a monster week at the plate, so he's the Philadelphia Baseball Review's D-I Offensive Player of the Week:
Congrats to West Chester's (
@BaseballWcu
) Mike LaRosa (
@CoachLaRosa
) and Arcadia's (
@Arcadia_BASE
) Bryan Torresani who both were honored with Coach of the Year awards earlier this month at the
@ABCA1945
Conference.
Arcadia (
@Arcadia_BASE
) and Denison are in the midst of a record-breaking contest that was halted earlier this evening in the 8th inning. THE GAME IS TIED, 23-23. The two clubs have combined for 39 hits, 11 homers, 18 walks, and 14 pitchers. Game resumes tomorrow.
@d3baseball
Still blows me away that Temple University (
@TempleOwls

West Chester's (

Story:
Losing Cabrini will be a major blow to the Philly college baseball scene. Nick and his staff did an outstanding job building a successful program the right way. This story will be told - that I can promise you.
The story not being told is one of 18 guys who stayed and 2 new guys wanting to be a part of a winner going 15-4 down the stretch to get to the doorstep of the D3 NCAA tournament. Success against all odds.
