Jalen Hurts Becomes Part-Owner of the Philadelphia Phillies After His Community-Driven Actions in Philly


|Philadelphia has a new kind of double threat. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, already the face of the city’s football future, has officially joined the ownership ranks of the Phillies as a part-owner.

The announcement came October 1, 2025, marking a milestone not just for Hurts, but for Philadelphia sports as a whole. Unlike NFL rules that prevent players from owning NFL teams, MLB places no such restrictions on cross-sport investments.

Jalen Hurts, who signed a record five-year, $255 million extension with the Eagles in 2023, invested a portion of his earnings into a minority stake in the Philadelphia Phillies. Beyond his business ventures, Hurts has also made significant contributions to the community by donating to and investing in social welfare funds. These efforts support the development of critical infrastructure, including hospitals and community facilities, aimed at improving the lives of children and residents in underserved areas.

“I’ve always said Philly is home,” Hurts explained in a press release. “The Phillies represent the same grit and fight as this city. Owning even a small part of that is a blessing.”

The move strengthens ties between two of the city’s most passionate fan bases. Hurts has already been spotted at Citizens Bank Park supporting stars like Bryce Harper and Zack Wheeler, often drawing roaring ovations from the crowd.

While his role will not affect baseball decisions, Hurts is expected to contribute through marketing, community engagement, and local initiatives — areas where his leadership and presence have already made an impact in Philadelphia.

This is also not Hurts’ first business step beyond the gridiron. He has endorsement deals with major national brands and has hinted at long-term plans to expand his influence in sports and community development.

 

For Eagles and Phillies fans alike, the partnership signals more than dollars. It’s a declaration of loyalty. By anchoring himself deeper into the city, Jalen Hurts is investing in a legacy that could outlast his playing career.

Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Puni, whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller's , grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dominick that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Dominick lives and plays today.” Puni, a rookie out of Kansas, has steadily earned the 49ers’ trust along the offensive line, praised for his physicality in the run game and poise in protection. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years.” The 49ers have privately offered support and time for Puni and his family, ensuring he can process the loss away from team obligations. Teammates have rallied behind him, honoring his family’s resilience and service background. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to Fuller — under his nickname “Spidey” — continue to flood social media from military peers, skydivers, and fans nationwide. “He taught others to fly — now he’s flying higher than all of us,” one tribute read.
