Sanchez extended for 6 seasons

[krukster]

He's be 30 at the end of this year, but injury free and mechanically clean.

Phillies have ripped up Cristopher Sánchez’s contract and agreed to a new six-year deal from 2027 to 2032 with a club option for 2033. More to come

The new contract guarantees Cristopher Sánchez $107 million through 2032, including his $3.5 million salary in 2026, according to a league source.

Sanchez was due roughly 3/20 on his prior deal, with club options of $15M and $16M.

This one effectively tears up those super team friendly club options and adds 3 seasons to that for an additional $87 million.

Do you remember a few years ago when you questioned how tall Sanchez was and they listed him like 6'1. Now he like towers over everyone and I can't get this out of my head. But, he was too old to have a growth spurt when he moved up to majors.

Do you remember when krukster said the Phillies lied about his height to keep him from being selected in the rule 5 draft?

(Despite him never being eligible for the draft)

Granted, it's not as dumb as him saying klentak hired cotham, but still pretty dumb

I don't know why it bugged me that he was listed at 6'1.  I believe it was ESPN that kept up the ruse.

I'm happy for Sanchez, this is generational wealth.

His agent and him clearly have a good relationship with DD.  Sanchez is one of guys who appreciates where he came from and how important this was to his family, the first contract that is. There are a few of us who watched him rise and it's a great story per se, for him. I too am thrilled for him. We watched another guy bloom right in front of us, but came from the farm system, and that's Ranger. I think DD wanted to see Sanchez stay in the organization and he took a bit of a chance with this contract, but I think the team is going to be rewarded for this one.

If Ranger's fastball hadn't lost so much life I'm sure he'd have been extended.

I still think Ranger would have made a better closer than starter.  The man's blood type is I for Ice.

I think there are a few guys we will see in the next year or two, pitchers that is, who are going to impact this roster in the next 1-2 years. I start with Painter and then Wood, and then Pan, the kid from Taiwan who is back from TJ surgery. There are many others of course but these are kids I have been following.Abel was another one but they got good value for him with Dohan. The other one who DD dumped was Ben Brown, with Chicago now. The Cubs baptized him by fire last year and it was a bumpy ride. Interested to see how he does this year. Brown was one of the three with Abel and Painter who were coming up together kind of.

I've heard good things about Pan from someone I trust, hearing you endorse him makes me even more bullish.

These kids now throw so damn hard.  95 mph doesn't even seem impressive anymore 😂

When we drafted Wood he was being advertised as a fast riser who could potentially be our closer in the near term.

I think Pan and Wood are the real deals. I'm excited to see them.

[Why_Cant_Philly_Win]

Need them to step up as Wheeler ages and. Ola continues his cliff dive.

When you go to BayCare Ballpark here in Clearwater, home for the Threshers, it's really awesome to get seats right behind home plate. It's the only place to sit if you are looking forward to seeing a top prospect pitch. The first time I got these seats a couple of years ago I took my two sons and my grandson and granddaughter. McGarry was pitching on a rehab assignment. When these guys pitch, the ball hits the glove and makes a very unique sound. Painter the same way when he made his debut against the Yankees It's fun if you know the guys who will be pitching that night. It was fun to watch Pan when he was here too.

Spot on. Nola has looked better but he's spent most of the spring in the WBC team so we haven't seen him much. I hope he does better than last year, but couldn't get eyes on some guys with the WBC.
