  • Nola Signs Extention

    4 years 45 million. Looks like he will still be a bit underpaid as an ace
    We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

    CLEARWATER, Fla. — The Phillies have signed pitcher Aaron Nola to a four-year contract worth $45 million. The deal, which will be officially announced on Wednesday, includes a club option for a fifth year.
    Nola had been scheduled to have a salary arbitration hearing on Thursday. That will not happen. With the contract extension, the Phillies bought out all three of his arbitration years and at least one potential year of his free agency.
    Nola, 25, finished third in the NL Cy Young voting last season. He finished fourth in the majors in ERA (2.37) and quality starts (25) and fifth in innings (212⅓) and WHIP (0.97) in 2018.
    Nola had been seeking $6.75 million in arbitration and the Phillies had countered at $4.5 million.
    Nola’s new deal calls for him to get a $2 million signing bonus and salaries of $4 million this season, $8 million in 2020, $11.75 million in 2021 and $15 million in 2022. The club option is for $16 million. The Phillies can buy out the option for $4.25 million.

      Not much of a contract guru but it sounds like a good buy for the Phils; as long as he continues to pitch well that is. Of course that is the case in every contract
      Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
      Hope is not a strategy
      RIP

          It's an absolute bargain. Nola wants to be here and get financial security. Huge win for the Phillies.
