He's a three-time All-Star who once led the American League in strikeouts, although that was 14 years ago. Kazmir made his debut with the Rays in 2004 and was one of the AL's most consistent starters for a few years, but he had trouble staying healthy over the second half of his career. Atlanta Braves

1. Kevin Gausman, San Francisco Giants San Francisco extended a one-year, $18.9 million qualifying offer to the right-hander over the winter, a deal that makes sense for both sides. Gausman will be well-paid in 2021, and the Giants -- not expected to contend with the Dodgers and the Padres for the NL West title -- have a valued starting pitcher who could be flipped for assets in the trade market. San Francisco, in fact, could be heavy in trade targets this summer.



On Wednesday morning, the same day pitchers and catchers report to spring training, FanGraphs released its Top 100 prospects list -- Top 133 in this case -- and five Giants made the cut. Luciano leads the way at No. 11, followed by Bart at No. 55 and Ramos at 61.

Doolittle: Fourteen years is ... a really long time. By the end of this deal, teams will be flying from their hotels -- which will be built in the sky like Lando's city in "The Empire Strikes Back" -- to the ballpark in hovercraft. Everyone will have a robot maid named Rosie with roller skate feet. But by then, who knows, $30 million might barely be enough to cover a year's rent for a studio apartment in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter. The Padres will be playing in a ballpark constructed on stilts. My feeling is that the Padres think Fernando Tatis Jr. is going to be really good for a really long time. If anyone is worth this kind of contract at age 22, it's probably him.Los Angeles Angels

He then missed the start of spring training in 2020 with an illness that the team described as a flu that it said turned into pneumonia. The Red Sox later revealed he had a flexor strain near his pitching elbow, and after consultation with doctors Sale decided ligament replacement surgery was the best option.New York Mets

Snitker has other options, including Bryse Wilson, Sean Newcomb and Huascar Ynoa, so a careful approach to Soroka's 2021 debut would not be a surprise.

This is Vogt's second season with the Diamondbacks. He hit .167 with one homer last year in 72 at-bats.
