• Agents believe it is no coincidence that arguably three of the most prominent starting pitchers remaining on the free-agent market — Carlos Rodón, Nathan Eovaldi and Chris Bassitt — are all weighed down by qualifying offers. Teams when pricing such pitchers factor in the cost of losing draft picks and international bonus pool space.
