It sure sounds like Zack Wheeler isn’t all that happy with the New York Mets. The right-handed starting pitcher signed this winter with the Philadelphia Phillies, a division rival. The deal will pay him $118 million over the next five years. He cashed in big after his 2019 season. He had a 3.96 ERA in 195.1 innings, with a 8.98 K/9, a 2.30 BB/9 and a much better 3.48 FIP.
Wheeler had two consecutive 4.0+ WAR seasons and the Mets didn’t pursue him when he hit free agency in October. He ended up joining the Phillies’ project instead, where he will be a key cog in the rotation.
