The starting pitcher market this upcoming offseason is one of the craziest we’ve had in recent memory. Shohei Ohtani is the headlining free agent (as we all know), and is currently a leading candidate for the American League Cy Young Award. But he’s far from the only great starting pitcher about to hit the open market.
Aaron Nola, Lucas Giolito, Sonny Gray, Jack Flaherty, Blake Snell, Martin Perez and Jordan Montgomery are among the non-Dodger starting pitchers eligible to test free agency. Clayton Kershaw is of course on an expiring contract, but it’s hard to consider him a free agent when it’s likely he either re-signs or retires.
