Daily News | Phillies press pause on Aaron Nola contract extension conversations, for now
CLEARWATER, Fla. — Conversations with Aaron Nola’s camp about a potential contract extension have come to a halt for now, according to Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski.
”We think the world of Aaron,” Dombrowski said. “It’s something we’ve talked long and hard about. It’s a situation — I think the world of him, quality pitcher, quality human being, but sometimes you get to this point where you’re not able to consummate a deal that both sides feel comfortable .”We’re very open-minded to trying to sign him at the end of the season. We’re hopeful that he will remain a Phillie for a long time.
Dombrowski said that the Phillies started negotiating with Nola’s camp closer to Spring Training. He said that Nola’s camp knew of the Phillies’ interest in trying to get a deal done right after the World Series ended. Dombrowski said he prefers not to negotiate with players during the season, to avoid distractions.
