The Philadelphia Phillies have non-tendered third baseman Maikel Franco and second baseman Cesar Hernandez, half of their starting infield from Opening Day last season.
The Phillies' second baseman and coach Larry Bowa form a bond based on tough love that crosses generational and cultural lines. But the budding star isn't the only one who had to change for Hernandez to shine in Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Phillies settled their salary arbitration case with second baseman Cesar Hernandez by reaching a $2.55 million, one-year deal.
The Phillies have avoided arbitration with reliever Jeanmar Gomez, agreeing on a $4.2 million, one-year deal with the right-hander, according to multiple reports.
