Zach Eflin isn’t ashamed to admit it: He pays close attention to the Phillies. Like really close. He follows their social media accounts and scans their box scores. He even cheers them on.
After seven seasons, old loyalties die hard.
“I’m still so close to a lot of guys on the team,” Eflin said in a phone conversation over the weekend. “I care about their careers. I care about how that team does. I don’t think I need to sugarcoat it or hide it. At the end of the day, man, I root for the Phillies.”
