As major league free agency progresses into March, veteran closer David Robertson is still seeking a team ahead of his 17th season. At nearly 40, he's demonstrated resilience after injury setbacks from 2019 to 2021, returning to form with a 2.82 ERA and strong strikeout rate since joining the Cubs in 2022. With a proven ability to adapt between closing and setup roles, Robertson could attract interest from teams needing proven late-inning support, notably the Diamondbacks. However, his age raises questions about readiness for the upcoming season.
"David Robertson, on the market at 40, remains a viable option due to his role flexibility despite injuries that affected his early 30s performance."
"With a 2.82 ERA and ability to pitch in various roles, Robertson's experience positions him well for teams needing reliable late-inning support as the season approaches."
