Very little has changed for the Philadelphia Phillies. They think that’s a good thing.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Spring training is typically a whirlwind of handshakes and introductions. The winter’s transaction carousel, having picked up players like seeds in the wind and dispatched them to new pastures, means new faces in new places. Names to learn. Chemistry to establish. Trust to build.

Returning home with a split, here's five reasons the Phillies can be  optimistic about winning the NLDS

Such is not the case for the 2024 Philadelphia Phillies, who look comically similar to the 2023 Phillies.

The scene in the Phillies’ spring training clubhouse on a rainy Sunday morning could’ve been copied and pasted from any regular-season game last season. In the far corner, a circle of veteran position players including J.T. Realmuto, Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos shot the breeze. A few feet away, Bryce Harper scooped his breakfast out of a mason jar, his container of choice. Across the room, Jose Alvarado and Gregory Soto engaged in a heated game of ping-pong, while Liam Castellanos, Nick’s 11-year-old son, bounced around in an oversized sweatshirt.

“It’s definitely weird not having to introduce yourself to that many new guys,” Aaron Nola, who re-signed with the team in November, told Yahoo Sports.

Up and down the roster are familiar faces, a remarkable amount of continuity.

For an organization whose recent winters have been marked by shiny, big-money additions, this offseason brought a different flavor. The biggest task on the front office’s to-do list was retaining Nola, which was accomplished before Thanksgiving, keeping the longest-tenured Phillie in red pinstripes for another seven seasons.
