Taylor Widener was originally picked up by Arizona in the ill-fated 3-team trade with the Yankees and Rays. Based on how the trade has turned out, Widener still has a chance to wind up being the most valuable player by default as he and Nick Solak each have put together 0.8 bWAR. After pitching out of the bullpen in 2020, injuries forced Widener into the rotation.
Widener’s 2021 season opened up with a quality start against the San Diego Padres, but he struggled with consistency and spent two separate stints on the IL with a groin strain due to being rushed back.
