Aaron Nola - Engaged in extension talks Nola and the Phillies have begun negotiations on a potential long-term contract extension, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Impact Nola is locked in at a $16 million salary for 2023, but he's currently scheduled to reach free agency once this year's postseason concludes. Gelb writes that there "appears to be momentum for an agreement sometime this spring" and notes that Nola reiterated Friday that his desire is to remain with Philadelphia for the foreseeable future. The 29-year-old right-hander registered a stellar 3.25 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 235:29 K:BB across 205 regular-season innings (32 starts) last year for the NL champs.

Trea Turner - Expected to bat leadoff Turner is likely to open the season as the Phillies' leadoff hitter, manager Rob Thomson said Thursday, per John Foley of 2008Philz.com.
Impact Thomson indicated that things could change when Bryce Harper (elbow) returns around midseason, but initially Turner appears pegged for the top of the batting order. His RBI total could take a hit in the role after he drove in 100 runs for the first time in 2022 while batting primarily second and third for the Dodgers. However, Turner will score a ton of runs from the leadoff spot and might also be more aggressive as a base stealer after going 27-for-30 on stolen-base attempts last season.

Phillies sign José Alvarado to 3-year extension The new deal will take him through the 2025 season and includes a club option for 2026.
FEBRUARY 17, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM
José Alvarado - Inks three-year extension Alvarado signed a three-year, $21.5 million contract extension with a $9 million club option for 2026 with the Phillies on Friday.
Impact Alvarado and the Phillies avoided arbitration with a one-year, $3.45 million deal last week, but this new contract wipes that out and tacks on two, and possibly three, more years. The buyout for the option is $500,000, per Joel Sherman of the New York Post, so Alvarado is guaranteed at least $22 million. The big left-hander had been slated to hit free agency next offseason. Alvarado put up a 3.18 ERA and 81:24 K:BB over 51 innings for Philly in 2022, earning two saves along the way. He'll be in the late-inning mix for them again in 2023.

Andrew Painter - Adds cutter to pitch mix Painter has been working on a cutter during the offseason, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact One of the top pitching prospects in the league, Painter is in big-league camp and could push for a rotation spot early in the season if he impresses this spring. He already boasted four offerings -- a fastball, slider, curve and changeup -- but also has reportedly thrown a cutter during bullpen sessions with J.T. Realmuto. Painter delivered an impeccable 1.48 ERA and 0.89 WHIP across 103.2 innings last year, topping out at Double-A Reading.
