Philadelphia Phillies director of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski spoke Wednesday about WIPand The Morning Show. He touched on a number of topics, including the recovery of Andrew Painter and Tommy John,

adding to the rotation before Opening Day, and expanding the rotation and ace Zack Wheeler.The Phillies would be wise to lock up their ace long before he becomes a free agent. As with Aaron Nola, Wheeler’s price will only increase as more teams enter negotiations.When asked how important it is to the team and when he expects the deal to go through, Dombrowski talked about his club’s efforts to re-sign Wheeler before he becomes a free agent.andquot;Well,

we’d like to sign Zack today if we could,andquot; Dombrowski said. andquot;I think it’s important that we re-sign him. Heand is one of the best pitchers in baseball. [I] never really get into open negotiations, but you can tell it’s important to us and we’d like to do it. I know Wheels love it in Philadelphia, love being a part of the organization. I would say it is a priority for us.andquot;.Wheeler is entering the final year of a five-year, million deal he signed after the 2019 season. Since signing, the right-hander has been one of the best starting pitchers in Major League Baseball.

The 2009 first-round pick of the San Francisco Giants has led all of baseball in fWAR (19.3) since the shortened 2020 season.During that time, Wheeler started 101 games and recorded 629 1/3 innings for the Phillies. He has a 3.06 ERA and 2.90 FIP while averaging over a strikeout per inning. The ace also became a postseason wizard.In 11 postseason games in the 2022 and 2023 playoffs, Wheeler was yo. His 2.42 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 69 strikeouts in 63 1/3 seasons are impressive. If he stays in Philadelphia long-term, he might have a chance to improve his numbers even more..
