2019 MLB Season: Finding the Teams ‘In Discussion’ for Dallas Keuchel
By Manny Gómez
We’re four days into the 2019 MLB season and Dallas Keuchel is still a free agent. However, with reports looming that the southpaw may have multiple offers on the table, let’s speculate who it may be.
At 31 years of age, Dallas Keuchel has built quite a career for himself. A Cy Young Award in 2015, 3-seasons with a sub-three ERA, four Gold-Glove awards, two All-Star selections, and a World Series ring.
For his career, Keuchel has a 3.66 ERA with an outstanding 59% ground ball rate. In his last five seasons, he has a 17.1 fWAR which is 16th best in MLB.
This is precisely why entering free agency many believed the southpaw would be fielding multiple offers from teams he could potentially finish his career with. Surprisingly, he remains one of two major stars, Craig Kimbrel being the other, still waiting around for a team to procure him for his services.
There is good news for DallasKeuchel, however. Per Jon Morosi of MLB.COM, Scott Boras is claiming that he “in discussion with a number of clubs” for Keuchel’s services.
Free agent Dallas Keuchel is throwing 95-pitch simulated games every five days, agent Scott Boras told me this evening. “We are in discussion with a number of clubs,” Boras said. @MLBNetwork @MLB
