Max Scherzer. Clayton Kershaw. Kevin Gausman. There's no shortage of pitching talent available in 2021-22 MLB free agency, and championships will be made or broken based on what moves are taken. Buster Olney, Jesse Rogers, Bradford Doolittle and Alden Gonzalez are here to break down what's at stake in the starting pitching market this offseason.
Which one free-agent starting pitcher would you most want on the mound for your team on Opening Day 2022?
Olney: If we're going to separate this question from the issue of financial commitment and value over the duration of the contract, I don't know how you can pick anyone other than future Hall of Famer Scherzer.
