MLBTR Originals

Here’s a look at the original reporting and analysis found on MLBTR over the past week:

• Throughout the week, Jeff Todd examined what’s left of the free agent market. On Monday, he looked at remaining starting pitchers, a group headed by Yovani Gallardo and also featuring reclamation-type players like Doug Fister and Mat Latos. On Tuesday, Jeff listed available outfielders. With Yoenis Cespedes off the table, Dexter Fowler leads that group, followed by Austin Jackson and a variety of younger and somewhat interesting bench options. On Wednesday, Jeff reviewed the market for infielders, a group headed by Ian Desmond and Howie Kendrick.
• On this week’s edition of the MLB Trade Rumors Podcast, Steve Adams joined Jeff to discuss where Fowler and Jackson might end up.
