Hot Prospects Still Up for Grabs in MLB Free Agency
The 2025-26 MLB offseason is in full swing, but many big-name players are still waiting for their dream deals. Stars like Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, and Bo Bichette are among those still on the market. The slow start to free agency has left fans wondering when these top talents will find new homes.
Early Moves and Notable Signings
Some players have already made moves:
- Kyle Schwarber is back with the Phillies
- Pete Alonso has moved to the Orioles
- Edwin Díaz has joined the Dodgers
These signings happened during the Winter Meetings in December, showing that deals are happening, just at a slower pace.
Dylan Cease's Record Deal
Earlier this season, Dylan Cease made a huge splash by signing a seven-year, $210 million deal with the Blue Jays. This deal is tied for the fourth-largest among active pitchers and is a big win for the reigning AL champions. It shows that teams are willing to invest big money in top talent.
Top Talents Still Available
While there aren't any superstars like Aaron Judge or Juan Soto available this year, there's still plenty of top talent on the market:
Position Players
- Kyle Tucker: A four-time All-Star, one of the most sought-after players.
- Alex Bregman: Proved his worth with a 128 OPS+.
Pitching Options
- Framber Valdez
- Ranger Suárez: Standout options for any team's rotation.
The Slow Start to Free Agency
The slow start to free agency might be frustrating, but it also means teams have time to make smart decisions and find the right fits for their rosters.
