Top 10 MLB free agents for 2025-26 offseason: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leads list, plus contract predictions

The Major League Baseball exhibition season is only one day away from the end of 2024-25. If you ask me it now makes the perfect time to put forward the next winter free agent.

Below I have appeared in my top 10 rankings in my pre-election world next winter. As a result of the risk of saying obviously. A alternal It can change in nine months, in terms of which players are cutting. What traits are they? How do I doubt that their free agencies will play? And so on. You know the scatter. This name does not grow these names.

Instead, predict which teams can be on these players, I have included forecasts for contracts. Relax. I went to the numbers from the air. Instead, I relyed on a comparative analysis with past signatures. More often than no, I have included a reference to which players (and transactions) I have considered most relevant guidelines.

Let’s get to it.

GameThe guerrero’s game is as simple as it turns out. He doesn’t go well and he’s never going to win another Golden Glove Award. So be: He can really strike, and he is both strong and young (he will not celebrate his 27th birthday before he concludes a long-term contract). Guerrero has a quick bat and impressive barrel control, a combination that gives him higher contact pace and power in all areas. These old, seemingly congestion comparisons for Miguel Kabrera are surprisingly well old, as much as reasonable to gameronon as a Most of the composition of the next decade teamA number

FeeGuerrero will be a fascinating case study. Public estimates on its next deal are contrary to the story of how the documents view its common profile (ie the first databases of right hand). For WIT, Pete Alonso’s $ 27 million is the richest to have the richest for the first betman of the free agent. Guerrero will be more ($ 28.5 million) in his last arbitration season. At the top of his skill and age, his difference, as the closest thing to the elite stroke, will present the market for several years, must work in his favor. I assume that he will become a seventh free agent Hipp for cleaning $ 35 million AAV, and he can rise even higher than that. I will be mistaken for the conservative side yet. Prediction12 years, $ 456 million ($ 38 million AAV)

GameTucker was in the short list of the best players to change teams to change. He affects the game at all stages, contributing to the triple cutting of each category. To have strength and speed for multiple 20-20 seasons. Play a golden protection of golden cane in the corner. Last year I would present its fourth consecutive week of war in a row, not the right Shin fracture, which limited her to 78 games.

FeeCount Tucker as another potentially interesting incident. In terms of production, he is undeniable for the best 12 or so many players of sports. I am not sure he perceives to meet, in a sense, it makes him the reversal of guerrero. I can see about why it is. He is a low key individual who played next to the more established stars for his career in Houston. His game is wide than focused so that he will hold his statistical leaders at the peak. And so on. My prediction will find some of this prediction after blushing this prediction, and I think it supports its imagination against him. Prediction: Nine years – $ 333 million ($ 37 million AAV)

GameStop, now the Five Five Finals of CY Young award have elite items that have given him an average of almost 11 strikes in each nine career. In the last season, he posted the best treadmill of his large league career, freely passing every three seconds. Despite stopping past wildlife, he managed 110 to 110 or better from four of his five full-length seasons. Another high-quality season will be won the best pitcher in this class, so it seems to be a three-step race.

FeeStopped this whole “right hand Blake Snell” thing for years. It’s not a perfect comparison for my goals, because Snell had better statistics and the last winter is better chatting (what is two cy young)? However, there is enough validity for me to work Snell’s contract (and in particular its current value) as a template. PredictionFive years – $ 160 million ($ 32 million AAV)

GameMeanwhile, he stops his trade with the stuffed approach, Galen is located on the other side of the spectrum. During the last season, he missed due to the dismissal injury, but he will still enter the New Year, which starts on average since 2022. During the same period, he occupied in the age of 300 or more places to him, and every other pitcher in this list.

FeeThe obsolete value of the sudden value with Lalen has to do with how much the field of quality models view its arsenal. It is clear that he did not prevent him from his career duration of his career. All the same, I wonder if some teams can not have a stomach to continue its continuation. In any case, now I’m waiting for a similar agreement on what he got here. PredictionFive years – $ 160 million ($ 32 million AAV)

GameValdez, a two-way star star without an impressive baseball page impressive. He rarely average as many as each circle strike, and he regularly surrender higher than average output speeds. Waldes, however, is one of the better snacks of baseball because of geometry. In other words, the warriors can hit his lands hard, but they usually do it on the corners that directly lead to dirt and they are menstruate for them. As an added bonus, he starts on average over the past three years.

FeeValdez does not have a CY Young Award on his part, and he may not have the same brand recognition as it works worldwide. Line their stats from the last three seasons and may be surprised by similarities. Indeed, they have identical era + and approximately identical overload. (Burns have a better striking treader ratio). Will Valdes continue to be a six-year sales of burns, $ 210 million? I’m not very sure, but he needs to approach the numbers. Prediction: Six years, $ 192 million ($ 32 million AAV)

GameAfter the brilliant start of the career, he has been dealing with the injury department since then. Last year he saved a terrible regular season with a strong show in the playoffs. Someones guess what further trajectory to follow this point. At the same time, the quality models of the field still love his arsenal, and he maintains an average control over the top. This combination can help him restore himself as a rotational start in his new surroundings.

Fee: It is clear that teams are angry with his arsenal and his make-upA number now imagine his market if he comes out there this year and performs like 2019 or 2021. I think it is fair to write that Buehler has the widest mistake bars from here. Maybe I’m very sweet on his shipping chances, but I think Tyler Glasnow Extension (four years, $ 111.6 million) can serve as a proper template. Prediction: Four years – $ 115 million ($ 28.75 million AAV)

GameThe quality of the king’s arsenal was never in doubt. He has a higher average offer in washing, slide and cleaner. What is under consideration is its strength, and in particular, if he has the opportunity to stay healthy, assuming the workload of stomach. The king progressed last season. Can he do this again this year? If so, he needs to find his stock to increase.

Fee: This is a decisive season for the king. After the release of his career, he is an average of 70 people, the annual year of service, including 173:2024. He just needs to prove that he can do it again for the whole season. How do I think teams can use Glasnow extension as a frame? Because the buehler has a longer post, I felt that it was just right to give him a little more projected coin. Prediction: Four years – $ 110 million ($ 27.5 million AAV)

GameBefore last season, Bichett was created as a short starship short place on the way to generative wealth. I think that it is good that many of the events underlying in 2024 have remained static in 2024, despite the bad results of his top. The bad news … Well, he still had bad results of those poor. Bichette is now more riding in his platform season. If he can get back to hit.

FeeBichette’s Distral Year gives him a broader error bars than any other ulcer on this list. I work under assumption that he has a crane season, in which case I think teams will be more forgotten for what happened in 2024. A $ 182 million deal with giants. Dansby Swanson’s seven-year contract with $ 177 million, with cubs. And so on. I’ll give a piece of pieces and tell you both edges. PredictionSeven years, $ 185 million (AAV $ 26.4 million)

GameThe best days of Ralalmme seem to be behind him, but he is still a quality player who brings something to the table on both sides of the ball. He continues to show that it is to make a quality connection (even if he is inclined to pursue and hover). Its design and blockade are not well considered, but he maintained a quick action that allows him to post the elite Pop Times in closing his opposition game. Realmuto lasted only 99 games, so it is worth considering its workload and how his body is 2025.

FeeEveryone agrees that Catcher is the most important diamond position … You just won’t know how they are paid. Indeed, Realmm is already owned by the highest AAV in a positional history. He received $ 23.1 million in 2021. Similar age in 2017. Prediction: Three years, $ 75 million ($ 25 million AAV)

GameThis list began with one offensive force and end with another. Schwarbent continues to walk and deviate from the best of them. Only three fighters have been more than 30 households and 100 walks for the prospects in the last three years, Aaron Judge, Juan Soto and Schwarbu. Of course, there is a certain risk that the speed of the strike in Schvarbor will go out of the hand, navigating to 30% and limiting his offensive power. He managed to maintain that result throughout his career, and I have no reason to believe that it will change this season.

FeeOne tourism of this past had a number of useful references to the next deal of Schvarbor, as the two-way corner / DH types (OC Pederson and Anthony Santander) at the age of $ 18.5 million. Schwarbarian beat the sign with the last deal, and I must believe that he will do it again. There is more realistic about the three years of TeoScar hernández more realistic. I will give a schwarber to a mumble to be left hard. Prediction: Three years, $ 72 million ($ 24 million)
