What an amazing time to be a free-agent starting pitcher. They are always in high demand as arguably the most important aspect of a team.
This season, in particular, we learned a lesson about the value of starting pitching. Just look at the Texas Rangers, which won the World Series despite a questionable bullpen. They leaned on their prolific offense for much of the way, and their depth of starters masked any deficiencies they had on the back end.
Corey Seager won his second World Series MVP, but the Rangers are champions because they doubled down on pitching this year.
