When you perform well, the team usually takes care of you. Sometimes it’s the year to year arbitration way and sometimes it’s the life changing security of a guaranteed extension. In the case of Cristopher Sanchez, it looks to be the latter.
Breaking: Cristopher Sanchez and the Phillies are finalizing a 4 year extension (plus options) to buy out his arbitration years and give Phils additional control. Sanchez, 27, wouldn’t have been eligible for arbitration until 2026; was in AAA last year. He’s 4-3 with 2.91 ERA.
