With the hot stove heating up, Tampa Bay's Chris Archer is a name being tossed around. Just how good of a trade commodity is he?
Just about every team in baseball is always on the lookout for good, young starting pitching. You can never have enough.
This year, there are only two "elite" starting pitchers on the free agent market, veterans Yu Darvish and Jake Arrieta, with mid-tier options Lance Lynn, and Alex Cobb available, as well. Most teams are wary of spending big dollars on arms over 30 years old, like Darvish and Arrieta, or are reluctant to give up draft picks for lesser starters, like Lynn and Cobb.
