Full contract details, incentives for Phillies’ Aaron Nola revealed

Aaron Nola’s time in free agency was short-lived as the right-hander re-signed with the Phillies, remaining with the organization he’s called home for his entire professional career. The starting pitcher inked a seven-year deal to keep his place in the Philadelphia rotation for the foreseeable future.

In addition to the $172 million sticker price on Nola’s contract — the largest the Phillies have given to a pitcher — the details of the 30-year-old’s deal are now known, thanks to a report by Jon Heyman of The New York Post.

Nola, signed through 2030, will make approximately $24,571,428 each season, per Heyman. As of now, his salary will slide in as the third-highest average annual value on the Phillies roster in 2024 both in terms of cash and for luxury tax purposes. Only the salaries of Bryce Harper and Trea Turner are larger next season.

Interestingly, Nola’s long-term contract in Philadelphia does not contain a no-trade clause, something that Harper and Turner both have in their deals. However, Nola will reach 10 years of service time during the 2025 season, giving him “10-and-5 rights” — the ability to reject any trade as a 10-year major leaguer on the same team for at least five consecutive years. He would receive an extra $1 million if he’s traded before the end of the 2025 season, according to Heyman.

Nola will also have the opportunity to earn additional compensation in incentives for the duration of this deal. The 2018 All-Star would get $50,000 for making the National League All-Star team, $100,000 for winning the NL Cy Young Award — along with $50,000 for a second-place finish and $25,000 for a third-place finish — $50,000 for winning NLCS MVP and $100,000 for winning World Series MVP.

With the deal now set, Nola is locked in as a member of the Phillies core once again with a chance to spend the first 16 seasons of his career in Philadelphia.
