Aaron Nola has signed a seven-year contract extension with the Philadelphia Phillies worth $172 million.
The team placed heavy priority on his signing and sees him as a key player for their future success.
Nola, a top pitcher in the league, has been with the Phillies since 2015 and has consistently performed well.
“At the outset of this offseason, we made signing Aaron our top priority,” Phillies’ Dave Dombrowski said.
“We are committed to winning, and having an individual like him in our uniform for years to come only helps us in that regard.”
“Aaron has proven to be one of the best and most durable pitchers in our game for a number of years now, and when considering his leadership abilities and his character, it was very important for us to keep him a part of the Phillies family.”
With this deal, only a few big-name pitchers remain on the free-agent market.
