Blake Snell is on the market once again.
The two-time Cy Young award winner had about as odd of a 2024 MLB season as you can imagine, but he’s one of the most coveted free agent arms out there for the second straight winter.
After signing with the Giants late in spring training, Snell struggled big-time out of the gate, posting a 9.51 ERA through six starts before going down with a groin injury.
Upon his return in July, Snell was one of the best pitchers in baseball, posting a league-best 1.23 ERA over 14 starts, finishing the season with a strong 3.12 ERA and a 2.43 FIP.
At nearly 32 years old, Snell’s free agency case is perhaps the most interesting on the market, leaving his potential destination wide open.
Here’s a look at what teams DraftKings Sportsbook oddsmakers believe will be in the mix.
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| Mets | +550 |
| Yankees | +600 |
| Red Sox | +600 |
| Dodgers | +650 |
| Padres | +700 |
| Cubs | +750 |
| Tigers | +800 |
| Any other team not on this list | +850 |
| Angels | +900 |
| Orioles | +900 |
| Braves | +1000 |
| Giants | +1100 |
Like they are for many other big-name free agents this winter, the big-spending and pitching-hungry Mets are the favorites to land Snell.
Close behind the Amazin’s are the Yankees, who could’ve used an arm like Snell during their World Series loss to the Dodgers.
Speaking of the World champs, the Dodgers — who limped to the title after a bevy of injuries to their pitching staff — are also a top suitor for Snell.
Despite spending the 2024 season in San Francisco, the Giants are the biggest long shot on the board at 11/1.
