STARTING PITCHERS
Note: Japanese ace Roki Sasaki is not yet a free agent, but he is expected to be posted by the Chiba Lotte Marines of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball at some point this offseason, which would allow him to negotiate with all 30 MLB clubs. Fellow Japanese starter Tomoyuki Sugano is also expected to be available to MLB teams this offseason. Sugano would be an international free agent, so he will not need to be posted by the Yomiuri Giants.
