Aaron Nola and the Philadelphia Phillies have agreed to put their contract extension talks on hold until the end of the season. The pitcher, who is entering the final year of his contract, told reporters that he would like to focus on his performances for the rest of the season.

“I’m focused on this year. We want to win, so just focused on having a good season and having fun with these guys,” Nola told reporters. “We definitely tried to get it done, but it just didn’t work out right now. Doesn’t mean it’s over, by any means. We’ll talk at the end of the season and see what happens.”

Nola’s agent, Joe Longo, confirmed that communication has been good between the pair of them and the Phillies, adding that the parties simply couldn’t reach a compromise at this time. He explained further that contract talks would resume at the end of the season.

On his current contract, Nola will earn $16 million this year after exercising the option on the four-year, $45 million deal he signed with the Phillies in 2019.

One of the top young pitchers in baseball has been rewarded for his work with a new deal.

Right-handed pitcher Aaron Nola has agreed to a four year, $45 million dollar contract extension with the Philadelphia Phillies. The deal includes a club option for a fifth year.

The specifics of Nola’s deal include a $2 million signing bonus, and salaries of $4 million, $8 million, $11.75 million, and $15 million in the coming seasons, ending in the 2022 season. The Phillies will then have the option to pay Nola a $16 million salary in the 2023 season or pay a $4.25 million buyout to void the option.

Nola cemented himself as one of the best young pitchers in baseball in a stellar 2018 season. The former first round pick started 33 games for the Phillies and compiled a stellar 2.37 ERA. He finished the season with 17 wins and only 6 losses.

The right-handed pitcher is only 25 years old, and his new deal with Philadelphia assures that his prime years will be spent with the Phillies.

The Phillies and GM Matt Klentak are thrilled to have been able to keep Nola, who finished in 3rd place in NL Cy Young Voting for 2018, under team control for at least the next four seasons.

Nola will be looking to lead Philadelphia to its first playoff berth since the 2011 season this year. The MLB season starts in just a month and a half.
