Dallas Keuchel Landing Spots: 3 potential destinations for former Cy Young after DFA from Milwaukee Brewers

Dallas Keuchel's time with the Milwaukee Brewers has officially come to an end. The team announced on Wednesday that he had cleared waivers and elected free agency following his DFA.

After signing a minor league deal with the Seattle Mariners, Keuchel was scooped up by Milwaukee last month in a trade. He is now free to sign with any team that he chooses.

With the trade deadline approaching, he could see his stock go up with teams looking to add arms for the second half. Today, we will look at three possible landing spots for the veteran lefty.

3 potential landing spots for Dallas Keuchel after electing free agency

#3 - St. Louis Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals are not typically a team that sells during the deadline, and that seems to be the case again this year. They have started to battle their way back into the NL Central but could use some rotational help.

Dallas Keuchel would be a great addition as he would not cost the team much in terms of money or any prospects. While he has struggled the last few years in the big leagues, he has been coasting in Triple-A, which is a great sign.

#2 - San Diego Padres

The San Diego Padres come into the deadline needing to add some rotational depth. Joe Musgrove and Yu Darvish have been sidelined, and the team does not have much money or prospects to play with.

#1 - Houston Astros

The Houston Astros have had problems with their starting rotation since the season began. They need a veteran who can come in and eat innings allowing Hunter Brown and Ronel Blanco to get a break.

While other exciting pitchers are out there, Dallas Kuechel would be cheap. He would not hurt the team much if he did not stick.
