2026 Fantasy Outlook
Sanchez followed his breakout 2024 campaign with an even stronger effort in 2025. Paul Skenes, in another year, would have been a unanimous choice for NL Cy Young, but Sanchez as well as Yoshinobu Yamamoto peeled away a few votes once everything was tallied. Sanchez was one of just three starters to work at least 200 innings while posting the fifth-best ERA of all qualified pitchers and ninth-best K-BB percentage. He had as many scoreless outings (four) as he had outings in which he allowed four or more earned runs while also striking out 11 or more batters in four other contests. A more stabile Philadelphia bullpen likely would have helped Sanchez win more than just 13 of his 32 starts, but only free agents get to choose their teammates. Sanchez won just two of his final nine starts despite a 2.83 ERA and 61 strikeouts to just nine walks over 57.1 innings, as the Phillies struggled down the stretch. Sanchez has missed one start over the last three seasons and should once again be in contention for the NL Cy Young Award in 2026. Next time someone says the Rays win every trade, remind them the club gave away Sanchez for Curtis Mead, and walk away laughing (or crying.) Read Past Outlooks
