The top 10 MLB players left on the free agent market

Relief pitcher Michael Fulmer

Like Peralta, Michael Fulmer had dealt with a lot of injuries in recent years. However, since 2021 and since moving to the bullpen, Fulmer has been a good reliever. Since 2021, Fulmer has appeared in 119 games with a 3.17 ERA, a 128 ERA+, and a 3.51 FIP. He also has 17 saves since then.

For a new team, Fulmer could be a good option as a middle reliever, a setup man, or even as a closer in a pinch.

Left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin

In the last two seasons, Andrew Chafin has been a great left-handed reliever for three different teams. Since 2021, Chafin has appeared in 135 games and he has an ERA of 2.29, a 176 ERA+, a 3.02 FIP, and he’s averaging more than a strikeout per inning.

Like Fulmer, he could be good in a middle relief or setup role for some team who has some closing experience (eight saves since 2021).

Starting pitcher Michael Wacha

Michael Wacha has largely been a good starting pitcher in his career but he has had a lot of injuries and struggled in both 2020 and 2021.

But in 2022 with the Red Sox, Wacha went 11-2 with a 3.32 ERA in 23 starts (he dealt with some injuries again) with a 127 ERA+. His 4.14 FIP suggests that he had some good luck last season, though.

He’s also still on the market because he’s, reportedly, asking for a bit more than market value. In the coming days and weeks, though, Wacha will likely have to reduce what he’s asking for or some team will have to suffer an injury to be desperate enough to sign him for what he wants currently.

Left-handed relief pitcher Matt Moore

Matt Moore had been a starting pitcher that struggled with injuries before 2022. However, last season for the Rangers, he had one of the best campaigns by any reliever who wasn’t a full-time closer.

In 63 games, Moore went 74 innings and had a 1.95 ERA, a 203 ERA+, a 2.98 FIP, and five saves. He also struck out more than 10 batters per nine innings, which is a career-high for Moore in a full season.
