Kyle Lohse was 16-3 with a 2.86 ERA and a WHIP of 1.09 last season, but he remains unsigned.
At 34, the length of his next contract may be the biggest issue.
"Obviously, it's been a little slow, a little slower than anticipated," Lohse said of the market for his services. "I think the whole first-round draft pick thing is slowing things down. It's going to eventually work itself out -- it's not like I'm not going to be out of baseball. Something will happen here down the road."
