Framber Valdez, Top Free Agent Pitcher, Commands $33.3M AAV

Left-handed pitcher Framber Valdez, 32, stands as the top available free agent pitcher this offseason. After an impressively consistent tenure with the Astros, he is expected to field multiple multiyear offers. While his age may limit the length of a deal, Sportrac estimates his average annual value at $33.3 million, making it the highest among current free-agent pitchers. Valdez remains unsigned as spring training is just a month away.
