This could be Arrieta's final season with the Phillies as his contract expires at the end of the year, but the team holds a club option for 2021.  Through 56 starts with the Phillies dating back to 2018, Arrieta is 18-20 with a 4.28 ERA.

He's appeared in every Topps flagship set since 2010, with his first appearance coming in the 2010 Topps Update release as an unbearded young pitcher with the Orioles.  Arrieta's greatest success came with the Cubs, winning the N.L. Cy Young in 2015 and helping the club win the 2016 World Series.
