And for me, this is a classic case of “two things can be true.” Those two things are, this year’s NL Cy Young Award winner, lefty Blake Snell. except the other teams that might have wanted to sign the righty.Įven though the Giants won’t be signing Nola, we can still discuss the topic of Nola vs.
It’s very rare for a free agent of Nola’s stature to sign before the Winter Meetings, which likely speaks to the fact that Nola didn’t want to leave the franchise, and the Phillies were willing to pay him market value. In a fairly surprising (to me) turn of events, Aaron Nola became the first big-name free agent to sign, inking a seven-year, $172 million deal with the Philadelphia Phillies, the only team he’s ever played for. Blake Snell or Aaron Nola? at equal contracts- Lando November 16, 2023
