It's pretty much been feast or famine for left-handed starter Blake Snell in his MLB career.
He's received votes for the Cy Young award in just two of his nine MLB seasons. But on both ocassions where he received votes for the most pretigious individual MLB pitching award, Snell won the Cy Young -- 2018 and 2023.
Those are also the only two campaigns in Snell's career where he made at least 30 starts.
He's pitched well in his other seasons, but injuries have plagued Snell from really excelling. That makes him a risky free agent proposition for MLB clubs searching for starting pitching on the free agent market this winter.
