The Philadelphia Phillies have agreed to a new six-year contract with ace left-hander Cristopher Sanchez.
The team announced Sunday that the deal will start in 2027 and includes a team option for 2033.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but The Athletic reported that Sanchez will make $107 million over the next seven seasons, including his $3.5 million salary for 2026.
Sanchez, 29, has emerged as one of baseball’s top starting pitchers over his last two seasons with the Phillies.
After his breakout All-Star season in 2024, Sanchez was even better last season, going 13-5 with a 2.50 ERA and finishing second for the National League Cy Young Award.br/]
