Before the MLB season was put on pause due to a worldwide pandemic, one of the most enticing Phillies stories heading into 2020 was that of Zack Wheeler. Signed to a 5-year deal worth $118 million dollar contract this past offseason, the expectations surrounding the new Philly pitcher were through the roof.
For the record, I really like Wheeler. I love what he brings to the table as a starting pitcher and I love the price for which the Phillies landed him at. Two months ago, I even went as far as to predict this upcoming season to be the best of Wheeler’s career.
