About this episode
The Phillies just signed left-hander Cristopher Sánchez to a four-year contract extension with two club options that could keep him in the Phils rotation through 2030. Ruben and Todd talk about Sánchez’s journey, from struggling big leaguer to bona fide stud in arguably Major League Baseball’s best rotation. Of course, once one deal is done, it’s natural to think about the next. Could an extension be coming for Ranger Suárez? Could the Phillies really sign another starter to a multiyear extension after signing Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola and Sánchez to multiyear deals? Ruben said locking up Ranger is a no-brainer. The guys also discuss the Phillies’ No. 5 starter situation with Taijuan Walker on the injured list and Spencer Turnbull taking his place. What happens if Turnbull picks up where he left off, while Walker gets healthy and starts throwing an effective splitter again? Decisions, decisions.
