22	Willson Contreras	STL	-0.6	11	48	0	3	.310	-5

The top two players on this list are hitters the Cubs could have easily kept, although Schwarber would have gone through free agency since.

Zach McKinstry was acquired by the Cubs for Chris Martin in July of ’22, who they would have loved to have in the bullpen the past couple of years. When they decided he was not a good fit for the roster in March of ’23, they sent him to the Tigers for Carlos Guzman. Guzman is now in the Mets organization, and McKinstry is a solid contributor for the Tigers.

Here are the pitchers:

#	Name	Team	WAR	G	IP	ERA	xERA
1	Chris Martin	TEX	0.4	7	6.2	0.00	1.96
2	Phil Maton	STL	0.3	6	5.1	0.00	2.38
3	Kyle Hendricks	LAA	0.2	2	11.0	1.64	4.79
4	Trevor Williams	WSN	0.2	2	10.0	5.40	2.52
5	Jason Adam	SDP	0.2	6	6.1	0.00	1.84
6	Shawn Armstrong	TEX	0.1	5	5.0	5.40	3.37
7	Pierce Johnson	ATL	0.1	3	2.2	0.00	1.52
8	Jeremiah Estrada	SDP	0.1	6	6.1	1.42	1.03
9	Marcus Stroman	NYY	0.1	2	8.2	7.27	5.86
10	Brendon Little	TOR	0.1	7	6.0	4.50	3.18
11	Hayden Wesneski	HOU	0.1	2	12.0	3.75	2.29
12	Hunter Bigge	TBR	0.1	3	4.0	0.00	2.18
13	Aroldis Chapman	BOS	0.0	4	3.2	0.00	3.89
14	Mark Leiter Jr.	NYY	0.0	5	4.1	6.23	3.09
15	Jorge López	WSN	0.0	4	3.2	4.91	8.35
16	Richard Lovelady	TOR	-0.1	2	1.2	21.60	7.21
17	Jesse Chavez	ATL	-0.1	1	2.0	4.50	8.93
18	Héctor Neris	ATL	-0.1	2	1.0	45.00	10.64

There’s Chris Martin, on top of the list. But also, Kyle Hendricks has gotten off to a good start with the Angels. Not surprising to see Hector Neris at the bottom of the list, as he has now been released by the Braves.
