Looking At Sánchez
Sánchez is coming off a remarkable season.
He went 18-7 with a 2.91 ERA in 33 starts.
John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia had written (on August 17): “Cristopher Sanchez leads baseball with 16 wins. Sánchez is just the second Phillies lefty to win 16 or more of his first 20 decisions in a season, joining Steve Carlton in 1976. He has been the best pitcher at home in baseball over these last 2 seasons. He has a 2.51 ERA – 8th best in the majors. 5th most strikeouts.”
Sánchez has played six seasons at the MLB level (all with the Phillies).
He is a two-time MLB All-Star.
Looking At The Phillies Right Now
The Phillies will now enter an intriguing offseason.
They had finished the 2026 regular season as the second-place team in the National League East with an 88-74 record.
