Phillies acquire Jesus Luzardo in trade with Marlins
NY Post
The Phillies are fortifying their already strong rotation.
Philadelphia is acquiring left-handed starter Jesus Luzardo from the Marlins, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed Sunday morning.
Starlyn Caba, a 19-year-old shortstop ranked as the Phillies’ No. 4 prospect by MLB.com, and Emaarion Boyd, a 21-year-old outfielder ranked 23rd, are going to Miami in the trade.
Luzardo, 27, was limited to 12 starts last year due to a back injury and pitched to a 5.00 ERA with 58 strikeouts in 66 ⅔ innings.
He had a career year in 2023, when he had a 3.58 ERA with 208 strikeouts in 178 ⅔ innings across 32 starts.
That marked by far the most innings Luzardo had thrown in a season; the year before he threw 100 ⅓ innings, and in 2018 he threw 109 ⅓ innings.

NEW ORLEANS — There were already a few low moments for Mikal Bridges in his Knicks career.
This may be hard to believe, given that he’s become the crown prince of New York basketball in almost every way, but it wasn’t even like this for Jalen Brunson. Two-plus years into his tenure as the face of the Knicks, we tend to simply believe that modern Knicks history can be divided into two parts:
TORONTO — The Nets won the game.
DALLAS, Texas — There were smiles and honest conversations among the Rangers on Thursday afternoon at the Stars’ practice rink in Farmers Branch.
Cody Bellinger’s return to The Bronx will turn back the clock. In 2000 and 2001, he was one of those kids running around the field after World Series games, when his father’s Yankees were beating the Mets and losing to the Diamondbacks.
