Philadelphia Phillies ace Aaron Nola, believe it or not, is one of the longest-tenured players on the team. His voice carries weight in the clubhouse, specifically on issues like Odúbel Herrera potentially getting a second chance with the club.
While there’s certainly a public relations standpoint that the Phillies will have to manage if Herrera returns to the team in 2021 – almost two years after his arrest and eventual suspension for a domestic violence incident with his girlfriend – they’ll also have to build consensus within the clubhouse that he’s improved himself to the point that he deserves the opportunity to rejoin the team he was once an All-Star representative of.
