This MLB offseason offered little in terms of impact pitchers. And as we look to round third base on it, any that were available are now off the market.
The big three closers—Mark Melancon (San Francisco Giants), Kenley Jansen (Los Angeles Dodgers) and Aroldis Chapman (New York Yankees)—all signed with teams. The Chicago White Sox sent starting pitcher Chris Sale to the Boston Red Sox, and the Kansas City Royals shipped closer Wade Davis to the Chicago Cubs.
It has left the market for pitchers looking like August in Death Valley.
No need to look toward a higher power for rain here. All it takes is a few willing executives to reinvigorate the pitching market. Given the climate, that may be advantageous for those holding pitching talent.
Let's take a look at some pitchers MLB teams should consider selling.
