"IBX has been on my target (list) from the beginning," Phillies managing partner and CEO John Middleton said to the Sports Business Journal. "We're both long-standing Philadelphia institutions. … We're taking an existing relationship and putting it on a whole different platform."
The Phillies announced the news Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park and with a video narrated by Mike Schmidt.
