1. Los Angeles Dodgers
Blake Snell and the Los Angeles Dodgers are a match made in baseball heaven. Snell prefers the West Coast, and the Dodgers are willing to spend whatever it takes to build a dynasty. Clayton Kershaw declined his player option for the upcoming campaign, creating a noticeable vacancy in LA's starting rotation. We wouldn't be surprised if fellow lefty Snell fills that void.

5. San Diego Padres
Always on the edge of competing for a championship, the San Diego Padres could bolster their chances by signing a former teammate. Blake Snell had a wildly productive tenure with the Padres, pitching to a 3.15 ERA and an 11.9 K/9 rate. Every year, the Padres must compete with the MLB's juggernauts, and Snell gives them a much-needed advantage.
4. Baltimore Orioles
The Baltimore Orioles mortgaged their future for a chance to win last season. The O's traded away some of their top prospects for Corbin Burnes, knowing the former Cy Young winner could walk in free agency. If he does, the Orioles should lead the charge to sign Blake Snell. In the thick of his prime baseball years, Snell helps Baltimore stay in the World Series conversation.
3. Chicago Cubs
Wins in free agency have been few and far between for the Chicago Cubs. Still, they are considered one of the top teams to try and land free-agent pitcher Blake Snell. The Cubs competed for a playoff spot with a makeshift rotation last season. Bringing Snell on board will transform this team into a legitimate contender.
2. New York Yankees
Starting pitching was an inhibiting factor for the New York Yankees in the World Series. Upgrading their rotation should be at the forefront of their free agency plans. The Yankees will have some salary cap space to work with this offseason, but the promise of competing for a World Series Championship could be the determining factor in Blake Snell's landing in the Big Apple.
