Jake Arrieta: 'Eagles Success Has Made Philly Hungrier'
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Jake Arrieta understands why Philadelphia Phillies fans are ready for a winner.
"You see the Philadelphia Eagles won a Super Bowl," Arrieta, who signed a three-year deal worth $75 million with the Phillies, told the media on Tuesday morning. "The success with the other sports organizations makes the city that much hungrier to get to that level. I feel like we're not that far away."
Arrieta's message to the city? "We're gonna fight."
Jake Arrieta: "What we're gonna do here, is we're going to promise a fight...We're gonna have conviction, we're gonna fight, and we're gonna win. I couldn't be happier to be a Phillie." #Phillies #BeBold

Arrieta also talked about the Phillies' rebuild, which he understand is happening, but that won't stop him from winning -- or trying to win, at least.
Arrieta: "I intend to come right in and win, right away. I think the players would agree with me that we intend to win, rebuild or not." #Phillies #BeBold
