Phillies skipper Rob Thomson gave Jhoan Duran a warm welcome to Philadelphia. Upon Duran being dealt to the Phillies, the star reliever ran into a problem — he and Thomson both share the same No. 59.

The emotions were mixed Wednesday when Duran was traded Wednesday from Twins to the Phillies. Minnesota was mid-firesale, landing minor league catcher Eduardo Tait and near-major league starter Mick Abel. Duran has been with Minnesota since 2018, playing all four of his major league seasons there in his ascent to elite closer status.

It was 30 minutes after Duran left the mound, and the Phillies readied to head home. Taijuan Walker sat at his locker and whistled Duran’s warm-up song. Duran overheard him and smiled. A few minutes later, Alec Bohm whistled it as he left the clubhouse.
