The Philadelphia Phillies were well aware of the looming contract situation between them and Zack Wheeler. Now, that situation is a thing of the past. The team just announced that they will be extending Wheeler’s contract moving forward, giving him a three-year, $126 million contract.
The Philadelphia Phillies didn’t exactly have an eventful offseason. However, it wasn’t needed as the roster is constructed exactly how they want it to be.
