Kody Clemens announcement that he is leaving Phillies now another significant issue for team…..

Philadelphia Phillies fans are being rewarded for their patience this offseason, with tons of Phillies content coming from Clearwater during spring training. There have been a lot of noteworthy bits and pieces from interviews and practices, content to keep our plate full until the start of the season.

To add to that, Bryson Stott shared a funny detail with NBC reporters when asked about his 31 stolen bases last year:

“I’ve never stolen 30 bases in my life, so I think that was pretty cool,” Stott said. “And I’m just kinda messing with Trea [Turner] and telling him that he’s supposed to be the fast guy, and I somehow stole more bases than him.

Shortstop Trea Turner carried his reputation as a speed demon on the base paths with him to Philly. In his first year with the Phillies, Turner stole an impressive 30 bases, increasing his career total to 230 stolen bases. However, 30 wasn’t enough to take the title of fastest on the team, as Stott edged him out by only one. It’s hilarious to think of Stott busting Turner for beating him by one bag.

Turner confirmed to the media with a shake of his head that Stott does like to troll him about that. So there’s some friendly competition within the team! We like the sound of that, it shows the strength of Turner and Stott’s relationship and the accountability to want to do better and be the fastest guy on the team.
