Vierling Thanks Phillies in Instagram Post

This was Matt Vierling’s Instagram post to the passionate Philadelphia Phillies fans. Pure class:

Matt_vierling24 "I’d like to thank the @phillies for giving me the opportunity to play professional baseball. The past 5 years have been some of the best times of my life. I’ll be forever thankful to the city, the fans, the organization for everything. I also couldn’t be more grateful to my teammates I played with along the way. Going to the park everyday and playing along side you guys was pretty damn cool.

With that said, I couldn’t be more excited to get it going with the @tigers!! Almost that time.. let’s go."

Vierling and Nick Maton were part of a package that allowed the Phillies to acquire two-time All-Star relief pitcher Gregory Soto. The Phillies came up with a solid trade at least on paper.

Vierling is the ultimate professional and it won’t be surprising to see him have a breakout season with the Tigers.
