This year's MLB free-agent market is thin on impact starting pitching, and that could make for a busy winter on the trade market.
Patrick Corbin, Dallas Keuchel and Nathan Eovaldi are the leading candidates for long-term deals, while seasoned veterans Charlie Morton (35) and J.A. Happ (36) are also capable of making a difference in the late stages of their respective careers.
Beyond those five guys, it's largely a collection of injury risks and back-end starters.
It should come as no surprise then that some of the biggest trade rumors that have surfaced here in the early stages of the offseason have been pitching-centric.
