How quickly we’ve forgotten Dallas Keuchel.
It really isn’t a surprise. After all, this new era of analytics means free agency runs slower than normal, and Keuchel didn’t sign a new contract until June of this past season. Who’s to say the days leading up to (and even into) 2020 won’t see him follow the same path?
One way or another, the New York Yankees should have Keuchel on their radar. Sure, most fans would prefer general manager Brian Cashman to sign Houston Astros ace righty Gerrit Cole in free agency. Others may prefer reigning World Series MVP Stephen Strasburg.
