Michael Kopech, once a highly regarded prospect for the Boston Red Sox, is now a free agent at the age of 29. Drafted in the first round in 2014, Kopech showcased his potential by hitting 105 miles per hour during his time in the Red Sox's farm system. He was traded to the Chicago White Sox as part of the deal for Chris Sale and made his MLB debut in 2018.
