Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

Chris Bassitt is a free agent. He opted out of his contract with the New York Mets earlier this month. The 33-year-old posted a 3.42 ERA over 30 starts with a great 1.145 WHIP last season. The Chicago Cubs are interested in signing him. Other teams interested include the Baltimore Orioles, Minnesota Twins, Texas Rangers, Boston Red Sox, Seattle Mariners and Kodai Senga.
