As we move through the starting pitchers we begin to see some separation. These rankings are based on PECOTA’s 2018 projections. At best, these rankings should be taken in concern with the previous rankings that were based on past performance. When these two rankings are taken in concert then they

The Seattle Mariners and Arizona Diamondbacks pulled off the first blockbuster trade of the offseason when the Mariners sent young starter Taijuan Walker and shortstop Ketel Marte to the Diamondbacks for all-star shortstop Jean Segura and two younger players.
