this year is not an arbitration year and he is making 2 million
year 1 3.5 m
year 2 6.5 m
year 3 9.5 m

2 option years for 14m and 15m that can escalate to 15m and 19m based on performance

Paul Skenes is making 875k this year, making his contract the greatest in history!!!!!


You're helping my argument here. I'm confused at what you're even arguing lol

And Skenes is still on a rookie contract....

The reach is real. Point stands, the Sanchez deal was absolute mastery by the Phillies front office. Absolute dirt cheap contract paying him a fraction of what he'd get if they waited until now to lock him up long term. Those club option years are what really make this contract a steal.

Bro those numbers are insanely team friendly. If he's this good in 2029-2030 a $14-15M contract will be the best value in baseball lmao.

Let's put it this way. If he was making $14-15 million right now, he wouldn't even be one of the top 50 highest paid pitchers. Now just imagine 4-5 years from now when contracts are even more inflated.

you just moved the goalposts completely. also ignored that he would not make 14 and 15 million if he kept up this performance

"Paying him less than $6M a year to be a top 5 pitcher in baseball lmfao. What a deal."

just admit you have no idea how a contract in baseball works

.....how much is he making right now? And next year?

That's what i thought.

You guys just cant admit it was an incredible team friendly deal by the front office. Dude might not even be in the top 100 highest paid pitchers in 2029-30. It's one of the best value contracts in the game. Haters gonna hate 😂


Edit: they'll likely give him more and restructure if he keeps this up though. Just too elite to not give him his due if he's still at this level in a year or two. As they should.

Jayson Stark might be on to something here. The Mets unexplainable success against Phillies pitching, dating back to last season, has to be more than just "getting hot" right? Just insane levels of success against them and them only. He thinks they have tells and know what's coming.

Start at 2:15
