Chicago Cubs
If the Chicago Cubs really want to make another splash in a wide-open NL Central division, Blake Snell is certainly an option. The Cubs have the potential to have a strong rotation, and adding a pitcher like Snell could bolster it even more. The Cubs have money to spend and can afford the type of contract Snell is looking for, even with time ticking closer to spring training.

Blake Snell Suitors
With MLB's spring training less than a month away, the reigning NL Cy Young winner Blake Snell remains unsigned. SportsGrid looks at four fits for Snell. The left-hander finished 2023 with a 14-9 record, paired with a 2.25 ERA and 234 strikeouts.
New York Yankees
The Blake Snell to the New York Yankees rumors have been a staple of late, and we don't see that changing until he signs somewhere. The Yankees have had a busy offseason and added Juan Soto via trade, and can make it an even more successful one if they sign Snell. There are still question marks in this rotation behind Gerrit Cole, and Snell would get them a surefire option.

San Francisco Giants
It's been another offseason for the San Francisco Giants, where they've consistently been the bridesmaid and never the bride. They're always in the running for top free agents, but they seem to have a difficult time landing their signature. With Snell still on the market, if the Giants give into his asking price or get close, it's not hard to see a world where he's in their rotation this year.

Los Angeles Angels
It's no secret that the Los Angeles Angels are looking to move on from the Shohei Ohtani catastrophe. One area that the team can still look to upgrade is their rotation. If the Angels ever want to stick it to Ohtani for leaving, actually investing in their ball club and trying to produce a real winner is their best bet. Snell would immediately come in and anchor this rotation and the team has the money to spend more.
