Aaron Nola and Rhys Hoskins, the longest tenured pitcher and position player on the Phillies, are both scheduled to become free agents at the end of next season.
Dave Dombrowski said at the team’s end-of-year press conference that the Phillies “would love to have Aaron in the organization for a long time,” but signing him long term isn’t a guarantee considering where the market is for above average to elite starting pitching.
Carlos Rodón, the most comparable pitcher on this year’s market, was reportedly looking for a $200 million contract. He signed with the New York Yankees for six-years, $162 million.
