We finally saw the first major move of the offseason when the Philadelphia Phillies re-signed right-hander Aaron Nola to a seven-year, $172 million deal. That comes in right around the projected average annual salary, although at a year or two longer than expected, and is the 11th-highest total value contract ever given to a pitcher -- for a guy who has been durable, yes, but has a 4.09 ERA over the past three seasons.
When Dave Dombrowski wants a player, however, he usually gets him, and Nola has been instrumental to the Phillies' success in recent seasons.
