Wheeler tries to bring something new every year, and that might be the best rationale for the Phillies to take the plunge and give him another long-term contract.

Zack Wheeler arrives at camp with a new wrinkle and another reason he’s worth the Phillies’ investment

It speaks to Wheeler’s competitiveness. Also, his creativity. Most of all, though, three months shy of his 34th birthday, it might be the best reason for the Phillies to take the plunge and give him another multiyear contract. Fair enough. But those two concepts — how an athlete has performed and what a team expects in the future — don’t always align.

Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander were older than Wheeler when they signed three- and two-year deals for matching $43.3 million annual salaries. Jacob deGrom, Wheeler’s friend and former Mets teammate, received a five-year, $185 million contract from the Rangers at age 34 and with a troublesome injury history.
