The deal covers his two remaining arbitration years and possibly his first free-agent season.

Dominguez will reportedly make $2.5 million in 2023 and $4.5 million in 2024 while the 2025 option is worth $8 million and carries with it a $500,000 buyout.

Dominguez compiled a strong 3.00 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, with 61 strikeouts over 51 innings of work last season. He made 54 relief appearances, finished 16 games and converted nine saves.

The twenty-eight-year-old will once again be an important late-inning arm for the Phillies this season.
