It won't surprise many fans who tuned into the end of his Nationals tenure, but southpaw Patrick Corbin remains a free agent on the cusp of spring training. However, Corbin began to turn things around last year with the Rangers. Taking advice from Mike Maddux, the 36-year-old produced his best season in a half-decade, posting a 4.40 ERA and 4.25 FIP in 155 1/3 innings across 30 starts. Maddux, of course, is now the Los Angeles Angels' pitching coach.
Given the precarious position the Halos find themselves in regarding their rotation, wouldn't it make sense to take a low-risk flier on Corbin, reuniting him with the coach who saved his career?
