The left-hander has thrown 200 innings or more for two consecutive seasons. In five seasons with Philadelphia, Sánchez has a 3.24 ERA and 30-21 record with a strikeout rate of 8.6 per nine innings.

Sánchez is the second Phillies starting pitcher to sign a contract extension this offseason, joining Jesús Luzardo, who agreed to a five-year, $135 million deal earlier this month.

The new contract restructures the four-year, $22.5 million extension that Sánchez signed during the 2024 MLB season. That deal originally included club options for 2029 and 2030, but those years are now guaranteed. The new contract adds $30 million salaries for 2031 and 2032, with a team option for 2033.
