Jake Odorizzi A Highly Coveted Free Agent
4 years agoFree-agent right-hander Jake Odorizzi is drawing significant interest as the next attractive available starter behind Trevor Bauer. Odorizzi threw just 13 2/3 innings in the shortened 2020 season because of three separate trips to the injured list. However, he had a 3.51 ERA with a 10.1 K/9 over 30 starts in 2019 with the Twins. Odorizzi makes up the tier of free-agent starters below Bauer, which also includes names like Masahiro Tanaka, James Paxton and Corey Kluber. The 30-year-old Odorizzi is probably most attractive because his price has come down following his injured campaign last year. But while fantasy managers may be wary of him because of that, too, he could also be a bargain in fantasy drafts, depending on where he lands.
