The Philadelphia Phillies acquired Luis Arraez at the 2026 MLB trade deadline from the San Francisco Giants, and he's been a great addition to the ballclub.
He had a little bit of a rough patch, but has overall been playing great. In the Phillies' 4-1 win over his former team, the Miami Marlins, he hit a two-run homer, his second as a Phillie.
After the game, Arraez told reporters, including Colin Newby of 975 The Fanatic, that it's a "blessing" to play in front of Phillies fans, calling them a "beautiful crowd" amid some heartfelt appreciation for the fans.
"A blessing, especially to play for the beautiful crowd," Arraez said. "(They) support me a lot, and I want to say thanks to them. I just want to go again and play like a kid, have fun, and win some games."
