4. Yovani Gallardo

Next on the list is former Texas Ranger Yovani Gallardo.

While many assumed the Rangers would trade Gallardo at last year’s trade deadline, the Rangers decided to keep him instead. That decision definitely payed off, as Gallardo was definitely a big part of the Rangers playoff run.

However, with Cole Hamels now in the fold and Yu Darvish returning from injury in 2016, Gallardo may not be as much of a priority as he once was. Gallardo does have draft pick compensation attached, which could hurt his overall value, but he is still projected to reach an annual value of $12-14 million in a three to four year contract.

Gallardo is a reliable arm, and could settle in as a strong three starter on a number of teams.
