Overlooked free agent relievers for 2023

This year's free-agent market for relievers is weak. Teams will look to the trade market or bet on the younger pitchers. Shelby Miller, who was drafted before Mike Trout in 2009, has struggled recently. He was traded to Arizona in one of the all-time heists. He has played for the Rangers, Brewers, Cubs, Pirates, Yankees and Giants in the last five seasons. His last game for San Francisco was a bad one. The 32-year-old has a 6.35 ERA. It's possible he will be available in 2023. There are four players who might be interesting.

Estévez has played 321 games for one team since 2016. He has averaged 97-98 mph on his fastball for years. Estéves has a 5.57 ERA at home and 3.51 ERA on the road. He is an interesting prospect due to his big arm and the reputation of the Rockies. Since 2016, only three relievers have thrown more four-seamers 95 mph or harder: Aroldis Chapman, Craig Kimbrel and Díaz. The Dodgers took Yency Almonte from the Rockies and helped him develop. They are not on level of Dodgers, Rays or Astros in terms of pitcher development.

Martin signed with the Cubs last year for $2.5 million. He was traded to the Dodgers in July for Zach McKinstry. Martin has the best strikeout-to-walk ratio in integrated AL/NL history. His fastball and curveball are getting better. He's 36 years old. FanGraphs crowdsourced contract estimates for its Top 50 free agents this offseason. It matters what he's ready to do in 2023, not what happened in 2013. The best postseason performance was with Los Angeles Dodgers. he was outstanding after the trade.
