When Zack Wheeler decided to join the Phillies for the 2020 season, the latter hoped to get their hands on a solid leaving. He had known good years with the dishes, but he had remained in the shadow of Jacob Degrom and Noah Syndergaard in New York.
However, in the end, the phillies have obtained the one who, for six seasons now, has been part of the elite of the major on the hill. Year after year, Wheeler dominates and is at the height of the race for Cy Young, even if he has never won it.
And what is impressive is that he is never injured.
That said, at 35, Wheeler no longer has as many years in his arm as he has already had. So it's sure that we wonder what awaits him, he who is under contract until 2027 …
And according to what Matt Gelb reports (The Athletic), who jased him, Wheeler already knows what awaits him: at the end of the 2027 season, no matter what happens, he will retire.
Basically, Wheeler does not want to know anything to continue his career beyond his this contract. He has four children, and he wants to spend more time with them.
And even if a team that offers a ton of money, he says it will be easy for him to refuse this money.
It should be remembered that at the end of the 2027 season, Wheeler will have raised more than $ 250 million in a career, which makes it well placed to retire and take advantage of his family life. And obviously, this is something that is important to him.
It is quite rare to see a player announce his retirement as decisively 2 and a half years in advance, but Wheeler seems to be comfortable with his decision.
JT Realmuto hopes Wheeler will reconsider his decision in the coming years, especially since he seems to improve from year to year. That said, if Wheeler does not change my idea, it leaves him about thirty months to win the world series and, who knows, a Cy Young.
Whatever with Paul Skenes in his legs, it may be difficult for the 35-year-old launcher … but he has the talent to get there, we get along.
