The 2025 Players Choice Awards were announced on Wednesday, with a pair of Philadelphia Phillies being honored. Veteran pitcher Aaron Nola was awarded the Philanthropist of the Year while soon-to-be free agent slugger Kyle Schwarber was named NL Outstanding Player.
The two awards, which are voted on by the active MLB player membership, are a good reminder of the type of organization the Phillies have built and what the team and the fans could lose this offseason.
Nola, the team's longest-tenured player is a worthy ambassador of the franchise and a positive reflection of the team he represents.
