| Value Pitchers & Vets: MLB Free Agency Surprises | 26 Feb 2026 | 00:01:38 | |
Despite free agency dragging on, MLB teams can still secure valuable players like Lucas Giolito, Zack Littell, Andrew McCutchen, Tommy Pham, and Starling Marte. Giolito and Littell could bolster any rotation, while the veterans offer leadership and solid play. The Braves, despite needing pitching, arent pursuing Giolito or Littell. McCutchen, Marte, and Pham could land elsewhere, with McCutchen potentially showing up his former team, the Pirates. Stars like Giolito, McCutchen, Grichuk, Turner, Anderson, and Scherzer remain unsigned due to differing valuations, injury concerns, and players eyeing contenders. Reliever Danny Coulombe awaits his chance. Meanwhile, the Pirates are making waves, drawing comparisons to the 2023 Orioles, and are still seeking a third baseman.
