† Prince Fielder announced Aug. 10 he would not be able to continue playing baseball because of injuries. He did not formally retire.
What are those numbers after players' names?
Note: Players are listed with the team with whom they finished the 2016 season. Several players on the list, such as Tim Lincecum, Cliff Lee, Kyle Lohse and Bud Norris were unsigned free agents at season's end. Hiroki Kuroda was playing in Japan.
Team names: In the chart, the teams "ana al" and "fla nl" refer to the Angels and Marlins. Since those teams changed names without changing location (Anaheim Angels became the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and the Florida Marlins became the Miami Marlins), Box-Toppers did not change the team code names.
