Anne Rogers has more on the Michael Wacha contract specifics.
Instead, the 33-year-old gets a multiyear extension that can be worth up to $72 million over the course of four years, sources told MLB.com. The deal includes a guaranteed three years at $51 million with a $14 million club option in 2028.
Wacha will make $18 million in 2025 and ‘26 — a raise from his $16 million this year and the $16 million player option — and $14 million in ‘27, with performance bonuses that can push that to $18 million, according to a source.
