Taijuan Walker is reportedly heading to the Phillies on a four-year, $72 million deal, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.
With Walker heading to Philadelphia, it marks the second time in three seasons that the Phillies have secured a pitcher from the Mets. In 2019, the Phillies signed Zack Wheeler from the Mets.
Walker posted a 12-5 record last season, compiling a 3.49 ERA in 29 starts last season in New York. The 2021 All-Star posted his best season in 2017, posting a 3.49 ERA through 157 1/3 innings and 32 strikeouts in 28 starts with the Diamondbacks.
