He hasn't signed a long-term deal with the Phils, so that makes him like most rookies. Since he only has one year of major league experience, he'll be an automatic resign for next season. After three years, he'll be eligible for salary arbitration, but he's the Phillies' property until after six years of major league service time.
My guess is that they work on a long-term deal either next year or in the third year of his contract. That way, they lock up a key piece for their future and avoid arbitration, which can be a sore point for both sides.

If you look at Cole Hamels you will find his current contract expires, but dispite what Antwaan M says, he will NOT be a free agent.
Free agents must have at least 6 years of major league service, as you can see from this website, and Antwaan M's post from the same website, Hamels does not have 6 years service.
He is not a free agent, and will either sign a new contract with the Phillies, get traded, or not play.
The Phillies have exclusive rights to him. They will sign him to a new deal for the forthcoming year.
