Social Media On Spangler
Here’s what people have been saying about Spangler:
@FuturePhils: “The Phillies have signed 1st rounder Tyler Spangler, leaving 19th rounder Braeden Lipoff as the last unsigned player. The deal puts the Phillies about $2,000 under the 5% overage”
@honeyots: “First LeBron to the Sixers and now Spangler signed! What a day for Philadelphia”
Cole Weintraub: “In addition to modeling his game after Corey Seager, another taller left-handed hitting shortstop, Tyler Spangler says he “always” watches Barry Bonds.”
Luke Arcaini: “Tyler Spangler said he’s excited for the opportunity to one day play in Philadelphia. He said that his back is 100% healthy. This is his first time in Philly. He’s already been to Angelo’s.”
@seanygrizzle: “Classy move by Boras Co. to wait until LeBron signs before putting pen to paper. We will remember this when Spangler is crushing AA pitching in reading in 2029”
