Nola Hopes To Sign Long-Term Deal To Remain With Phillies
Right-hander Aaron Nola and the Philadelphia Phillies have started negotiations on a long-term contract extension, according to multiple sources cited by Matt Gelb of The Athletic.
Gelb reports that Nola won’t negotiate once the 2023 regular season starts.
"I love it here. I think everybody loves it here,” Nola told The Athletic.
Nola is signed for $16 million this season, but that number is sure to rise with any extension.
The Phillies would likely be looking at a five-year deal for $125 million. That number could easily rise $30-40 million depending on what the market demands.
Nola went 11-13 with a 3.25 ERA in the regular season and a 2-2 with a 4.91 ERA in five postseason games. It was his first time competing in the playoffs.
Nola finished fourth in National League Cy Young voting. He came in third in 2018 and seventh in ’20.
