Ah, this is good…lol.
Whit Merrifield, a Three All Stars Major League Baseball announced his retirement following seven campaigns. And in his announcement posted on social media, Whitt decided to publish “Sorry” to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Merrifield became Philly in 2024, and at the time the organization and fanbase were EC about it. However, he was unable to hit the ball while he was there, and he was separated from Philadelphia.
