Shohei Ohtani is officially off the market. The two-way superstar isn't going far after signing a record-breaking 10-year, $700 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The free agent market, which had been moving at a glacial pace, should pick up steam now that the best player in the world has made his decision.
PITCHERS RHP Yoshinobu YamamotoOhtani isn't the only Japanese-born phenom about to cash in on the open market. Yamamoto couldn't have made the move from Japan at a better time. The 25-year-old looks like could instantly be one of the majors' best starting pitchers, and he'll get paid accordingly. Ohtani signing might have increased his value even more with a handful of teams who missed out on Ohtani shifting their attention to his countryman - even if he is unproven at this level. LHP Jordan Montgomery If it's a dependable arm who can log big innings Breslow covets, you could do a lot worse than Montgomery. He doesn't have the ceiling of, say, reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell, but the world champion is a proven workhorse. The southpaw has logged at least 157 innings over the last three seasons, increasing his workload every year, including an impressive walk year in which he posted a career-best 3.20 ERA with a 1.094 FIP in 188 2/3 innings.
