It’s almost Opening Day, and surprisingly, there are still several elite free agents available.
At this rate, Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery could not be ready for Opening Day as they have yet to sign new contracts. The best players still available in free agency, but there’s still no sign that a deal is close.
Snell has been connected to the New York Yankees on numerous occasions, and that connection will persist until he contracts with another team. He was seeking a big-time, long-term contract, and the Yankees made him an offer, which he turned down.
At the time, Snell was seeking a bigger contract, so New York switched to Marcus Stroman. However, it appears that the two-time Cy Young Award winner has lowered his asking fee.
The New York Post’s Jon Heyman claims that the leftist is now amenable to a brief agreement with opt-outs.
“Star free agent Jordan Montgomery still seeks a long deal while reigning (National League) Cy Young winner Blake Snell is fine doing a short-term deal with opt-outs,” Heyman stated.
