Pitcher Chris Archer is one of the latest players to hit the free-agent market this offseason, however, could he be a worthy reclamation project for 2021?

The Pittsburgh Pirates opted not to pick up the $11 million dollar option on Chris Archer for next season making the hurler a free agent. The Pirates acquired Archer from the Tampa Bay Rays at the 2018 trade deadline and paid an exorbitant price.
