| Notes | ||
| Dylan Cease signed a seven-year, $210 million contract with the Blue Jays in November, parlaying his steady strikeout rate numbers and artificially inflated ERA in 2025 into security with the 2025 runners-up. In his age-29 season, Cease was snakebit by a .320 BABIP, ballooning his ERA to 4.55 with an xERA of 3.46. The important stat to know is his 29.8% K-rate and five consecutive years of 200+ strikeouts. If you can absorb a bit of a WHIP hit (career 1.26), the counting stats are there for the taking.
