The Phillies shut the door on the Mariners on Tuesday thanks to Jhoan Duran, but JT Realmuto, in jest, has something to say.

Realmuto launched a two-run homer in the eighth inning Tuesday, snapping a 4-4 tie and providing the winning runs as the Phillies captured the series. All that remained after the homer was for closer Jhoan Duran to enter to his anticipated light show and blow away the Mariners with a 102-mph fastball and 100-mph splinker.

Realmuto is in the final year of a five-year, $115.5M contract extension he signed in January 2021. He joined the Phillies via trade from the Miami Marlins in February 2019, earning two All-Star Game appearances and two Silver Slugger Awards during his seven-year tenure in Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia Phillies will face a decision on Kyle Schwarber in free agency, but he is not the only superstar Phillies player hitting the open market.
