Michael Soroka has opted out of a $10 million mutual option for 2027, becoming a free agent. The 29-year-old right-hander had a strong season with the Arizona Diamondbacks, posting a 3.41 ERA and 114 strikeouts in 116 innings across 22 appearances. This marks his most productive year since 2019. Injury setbacks, including Achilles tendon tears, had previously limited his play. Soroka's performance this season has increased interest from teams looking for starting pitching options. The Diamondbacks may seek to re-sign him but could also explore other routes for roster improvements.
