C Gary Sanchez (ML): Sanchez hit .242/.295/347 this year in 390 plate appearances. He's a veteran presence who can play catcher or first. He's set to make $15 million in this last year before free agency.
SP Tyler Skaggs (ML): Skaggs' ERA this year was abysmal, but much of that can be attributed to the quality of the defense behind him and a bullpen that kept letting inherited runners score. His FIP- was actually only 7 points above league average, not too shabby for a player on a team that lost more than 100 games. He's in the final year of his contract and set to make $11.3 million.
2B Jason Kipnis (ML): Kipnis is not done yet. In the final year of his contract with Cleveland, he's set to make $5.5. million. This year, he spent most of his time at AAA, blocked by a plethora of Rule-5 draft pics, but at that level hit .260/.349/.479. He can still play second base and he still has some speed in his legs, despite being 34 years old.
SP Rick Porcello (ML/AAA): Porcello's ERA was awful, but as with Skaggs, most of that can be attributed to his team's shoddy defense and bullpen. His FIP was much better, at 3.91, giving him an FIP- of 93 and a WAR of 1.6. Set to make only $3.04 million, he's one of the cheapest starting pitching options available this offseason.
SP Felix Doubront (ML): Doubront, of all the Cleveland starters, probably pitched the best despite his defense, throwing a 3.83 ERA and starting a whopping 43 games for the Indians. He earned a 2.6 WAR for his performance. His FIP was comparable to his ERA, at 3.86, and his FIP- was better than Porcello's, at 91. Since he'll only make $2.7 million this year, he's well worth picking up as a starting option, even if he doesn't repeat quite the success he had this year.
Almost everyone else is available for the right offer.
