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.

The Phillies reshuffle their roster, adding two key pieces while placing a reliever on the injured list ahead of a critical stretch.

Before the Phillies turned out the lights on the Tigers, they turned out the actual lights. Welcome to the Jhoan Duran Show. This is what it looks like to have an actual closer. The ninth inning becomes a spectacle.
