1 week agoPhillies ace Cristopher Sanchez agrees to new 6-year contract
Cristopher Sanchez signed a six-year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies worth $107 million, starting in 2027.
Paul Skenes, Pirates Despite strong competition from Sánchez and Yamamoto, Skenes very well figures to win his first career Cy Young Award after a third-place finish. Skenes built off an impressive NL Rookie of the Year campaign to sport a 1.97 ERA that led the Majors. Skenes became the first qualified pitcher with a sub-2.00 ERA since Justin Verlander in 2022. Skenes' 216 strikeouts set a career high and were second-most in the NL.
