MLB Rumors: Zack Wheeler, Phillies Agree to Historic 3-Year, $126M Contract Extension

After securing a long-term commitment from Aaron Nola in free agency, the Philadelphia Phillies have reportedly taken care of Zack Wheeler now.

Per ESPN's Buster Olney, Wheeler has agreed to a three-year, $126 million extension that "is the highest annual salary for any contract extension ever."

Olney added more details:

Nola was the first major free-agent domino to fall this offseason when he inked a seven-year, $172 million deal to remain in Philadelphia.

"This is the most comfortable place for me," Nola said of his decision to stay with the Phillies.
