Right-hander Jeremy Guthrie tossed eight shutout innings at the Chicago White Sox Wednesday, his second straight quality outing. Perhaps Guthrie was simply the victim of a new league and the rigors of pitching in the thin air at Coors Field.
The 33-year-old will be a free agent after the season, but may have found a home with the Kansas City Royals, who desperately need veteran starting pitching and have given indications that they are willing to spend money on the right arms. Keeping Guthrie around could be part of their offseason plan, though GM Dayton Moore is certain to look for top-of-the-rotation additions, too.
Guthrie could be a fit for several clubs as a back-end starter who can eat innings, provided he's not too pricey and continues to pitch at such a level.
