STARTERS TO CHOOSE FROM
Jose Berrios righthander, 25
• Contract: one year, $4.025 million. Under team control through 2022.
• Opening Day and playoff opener starter last year, when he made his second All-Star team. Slumped badly in August (7.57 ERA) and finished year 14-8 with a 3.68 ERA. Pitched 200 innings for the first time.
Jake Odorizzi righthander, 29
• Contract: one year, $17.8 million. Accepted one-time qualifying offer.
• First-time All-Star parlayed his best season into a big one-year payday instead of heading into free agency. Eight-year veteran was 15-7 with a 3.51 ERA but averaged only 5⅓ innings per start.
Kenta Maeda righthander, 31
• Contract: four years, $3 million base yearly, with incentives (mostly for starts) that could add another $10 million per year.
• Acquired from the Dodgers, where he has pitched in the past four postseasons after coming over from Japan. Is 47-35 with a 3.87 ERA and 9.9 strikeouts per nine innings in his MLB career. Has a nasty slider.
Homer Bailey righthander, 33
• Contract: one year, $7 million.
