After next Monday, teams can officially sign Dallas Keuchel without giving up draft pick compensation. And while the Yankees have been linked to the former Astros starter, representatives from the Braves and Rays were also in attendance for Sunday’s rain-shortened sim game in Southern California.
Pitching near his agent, Scott Boras’ offices, Keuchel is doing his best to stay as close to game ready as possible. However, there’s no doubt, that whenever Keuchel does sign, he’ll spend at least a few weeks at the highest level of the minor leagues to acclimate himself to MLB-lite hitters.
