The Phillies are reportedly fielding trade offers for RHP Zack Wheeler.
Citing their “financial crunch,” the Philadelphia Phillies have reportedly told other teams that they are willing to trade right-handed starting pitcher Zack Wheeler, according to ESPN’s Buster Olney.
Wheeler is the Phillies’ second-highest paid player and is owed at least $22.5 million through the 2024 season; he signed a five-year, $118 million contract last offseason after a five-season stint with the New York Mets to begin his career.
