Several notable option decisions have already been made, including Clayton Kershaw's declined player option as he aims to retire with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Meanwhile, Nathan Eovaldi has opted out of his deal with the Texas Rangers, and the Baltimore Orioles have made surprising moves regarding their pitchers.
