Interest as starter and reliever Keller is drawing free-agent interest both as a starter and reliever, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Impact Keller flourished with the Cubs in 2025 in a full-time relief role, collecting a 2.07 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 75:22 K:BB over 69.2 regular-season innings.

Notches save in Game 1 Keller tossed a perfect ninth inning to record the save in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over the Padres.
Impact Daniel Palencia, the Cubs' regular-season saves leader, had already exited Tuesday's contest by the seventh inning, leaving Keller as the best available option to pitch the ninth. He froze Xander Bogaerts with a called third strike to collect his first career postseason save and put the finishing touches on a perfect 4.2-inning performance from Chicago's bullpen. Keller will likely continue to see regular high-leverage action for the duration of the Cubs' postseason run, though Palencia remains the favorite to pick up saves in the future.

Earns another save Tuesday Keller tossed a scoreless ninth inning with two strikeouts to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Pirates.
Impact After recording a one-out save Tuesday, Keller converted a more conventional opportunity a night later. With Daniel Palencia (shoulder) on the injured list, it was Andrew Kittredge who converted Chicago's first three save opportunities, but Keller now has the last two. Expect manager Craig Counsell to keep mixing and matching with his veteran relievers to close out games while Palencia is on the shelf, giving Keller a temporary boost in fantasy value.
