Daily News | Zach Eflin elects for free agency, as the Phillies pick up Aaron Nola’s option
players stood side by side in a corner of the clubhouse and reflected on the postseason ride they had always imagined.Phillies’ biggest offseason questions: Harper’s elbow, shortstop addition and Painter in 2023?
It’s possible that Eflin finds his way back to the Phillies, who may also broach the topic of a contract extension for Nola later in the offseason or during spring training. But it may be more likely that the paths will diverge for the close friends and teammates since 2015 at double-A Reading. Upon his return in mid-September, without time to regain the arm strength to be a starter, Eflin went to the bullpen and allowed one earned run with nine strikeouts in 7⅔ innings for a 1.17 ERA. He appeared in 10 of the Phillies’ 17 postseason games, all but twice in the seventh inning or later, and posted a 3.38 ERA.
In 127 games over seven major league seasons — all with the Phillies — Eflin has a 4.49 ERA. The Phillies acquired him for Jimmy Rollins in a 2014 trade that signaled the start of the team’s rebuilding process.
