The Philadelphia Phillies have begun negotiations with starting pitcher Aaron Nola's camp regarding a long-term extension, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic:
"They have engaged Nola's camp in negotiations on a potential long-term extension, according to multiple major-league sources. They have exchanged offers. Team officials declined to comment on the progress of the talks, as did Nola's agent, Joe Longo of Paragon Sports."
Nola is set to become a free agent in 2023, but Gelb said there's momentum toward getting a deal done this spring. The starting pitcher commented on the matter.
"My reps are handling it," Nola said.
