Teams and players are free to talk about expansion at any time of the year, but most common at the beginning of the regular season.

The Phillies achieved the biggest delay last spring. They keep it Zack Wheeler During the three-year period, it was based on record 42mm average annual value. Pheles brought back a few months later Aaron Nola A seven-year contract was signed early in the free agent stage. In their third straight season, the possibility they face may lose to one of the most valuable pitchers on the open market.
