Zack Wheeler Turned Down the White Sox to Sign With the Phillies

#WhiteSox’s offer to Wheeler was for MORE than the $118M he will receive from the #Phillies, sources tell The Athletic. As @MarcCarig said, Wheeler’s wife is from New Jersey, and that proximity was an important consideration in his decision.

So pretty much if you were close to New Jersey, and not the Mets, then you had a shot at signing Wheeler.

Something tells me the Yankees are going to regret not signing Wheeler.
