Hello and welcome to the 2025–26 edition of the tracker!
If you’re unfamiliar with how this all started way back in 2018— Yahoo Sports used to publish a comprehensive list of nearly every MLB free agent each offseason. I looked forward to it every year — their rankings, insights, and commentary on everyone from star players to random third-string catchers.
For whatever reason, that long, detailed list eventually disappeared, replaced by shorter rundowns focused on the top fifty or so free agents. Most major outlets have since followed suit.
It’s an understandable change — after all, there’s not much difference between who’s ranked #122 and who’s #133 — but I missed the coverage of those lesser-known names. Putting together and organizing that information myself has become something I genuinely enjoy.
As in past years, my goal is to track 300 players. If someone you’re looking for isn’t here yet, don’t worry — I’ll be adding new names every day until we hit that mark.
From the fall through the start of the 2026 season, I’ll be covering every free agent signing. If you like what you see, I’d recommend bookmarking the page for daily updates. You can also follow me on Twitter at @EdHand89.
A huge thank-you to Shawn Palmer for his outstanding graphic design work.

1. Kyle Tucker- OF
Age: 29
Career bWAR: 27.3
2025 bWAR: 4.5
2025 Team: Chicago Cubs
Profile: Five-tool player had something of a rough second half mostly due to injury. Still put up a strong .841 OPS (.266/.377/.464) over 597 PA while joining the 20/20 club for the third time in his career (22 HR/25 SB). Impressive command of the strike zone to go with the rest of his tools. This is a guy who will be valuable with the bat long after his physical prime. High ceiling/high floor. Easily the best of this year’s class.

2. Bo Bichette- SS
Age: 28
Career bWAR: 20.8
bWAR: 3.4
2025 Team: Toronto Blue Jays
Profile: Tremendous rebound after the worst season of his career in 2024. Ripped 44 doubles and 18 homers while driving in 94 runs and slashing .311/.357/.483. Doesn’t strike out much, doesn’t walk a ton, doesn’t steal bases, mediocre defender. The bat-to-ball plus power at a premium position is a lethal combination, however, and given his relatively young age and pedigree, he well may be the most coveted infielder available. Health was still a question as he finished the season on the IL and missed a good amount of the playoffs.

3. Cody Bellinger- OF
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 30.4
2025 bWAR: 5.0
2025 Team: New York Yankees
Profile: Betting on himself and putting plenty of opt-outs in a short-term contract paid off for the 2019 NL MVP but a long-term extension still escapes him. Five-tool player who hits homers without striking out too much, he’ll steal a base here and there and play solid defense in center field or even first base. Slashed .272/.334/.480 with 29 homers, 13 stolen bases and 98 RBI over 656 PA in 2025, perhaps proving once and for all that the injuries that plagued him in 2021 and 2022 are firmly in the rearview mirror.

4. Kyle Schwarber- OF
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 19.9
2025 bWAR: 4.7
2025 Team: Philadelphia Phillies
Profile: Three true outcomes up the wazoo with this guy. An absolute monster in 2025, the left-handed slugger smoked an NL leading 56 homers with an MLB leading 132 RBI while playing in all 162 games for the Phillies this season. Tied his career high OPS at .928 from 2021 but with far more total plate appearances. The best pure power hitter on the market and a proven winner coming off a career year.

5. Alex Bregman- 3B
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 43.1
2025 bWAR: 3.5
2025 Team: Boston Red Sox
Profile: It was a tale of two seasons. Bregman looked like his former self, setting the world ablaze in his first couple of months with the club. A quad injury took him out for about two months and never really returned to form. All the same, his .821 OPS was still the highest of his career since 2019 as he slashed a perfectly respectable .273/.360/.462 with 18 homers and 51 BB/70 K in the heart of the Red Sox lineup. Probably no longer an MVP candidate but a very good player and potential all-star with strong intangibles all the same. Injuries remain the biggest risk with him as is often the case with players on the wrong side of thirty.
SIGNED- Chicago Cubs, $175 million/5 years, 1/10
6. Ranger Suarez- SP (L)
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 18.1
2025 bWAR: 4.7
2025 Team: Philadelphia Phillies
Profile: Quietly a very reliable pitcher for the Phillies since 2021, his 2025 season was more of the same- 3.20 ERA, 3.21 FIP, 1.220 WHIP, 151 K/38 BB, 157.1 IP. The innings total is actually the highest of his career which says a lot about his lack of durability. He’s on the smaller size and has long dealt with back injuries, which is preferable to elbow injuries but still something to keep an eye on. Very solid, underrated pitcher.

7. Framber Valdez- SP (L)
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 18.8
2025 bWAR: 3.8
2025 Team: Houston Astros
Profile: Has been very good for a while now. The last four seasons, the Dominican lefty has thrown 175 or more innings (three of which he went over 190) with an ERA no lower than 2.82 or higher than 3.66 (which occurred in 2025). A 3.31 FIP says the ERA fluctuation is probably just the result of worse luck. Plenty of strikeouts and good but not great control make him as effective a workhorse as you’re gonna get. Some concerns regarding makeup, clubhouse influence after an unpleasant incident in which he intentionally tried to drill his own catcher.

8. Michael King- SP (R)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 10.8
2025 bWAR: 1.2
2025 Team: San Diego Padres
Profile: Injuries cost him a much bigger contract than he will likely get. Only made 15 starts (73.1 IP) due to shoulder and then knee inflammation. His ERA went up to 3.44, his highest since 2021, and a 4.42 FIP implies that it could have been a lot worse. There’s definitely some risk here- he only has two seasons with 100+ innings and just one over 150. All the same, the ceiling is high enough for him to be a legitimate top of the rotation arm, something that has become increasingly rare to become available in free agency.

9. Pete Alonso- 1B
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 23.3
2025 bWAR: 3.1
2025 Team: New York Mets
Profile: The Polar Bear didn’t end up with the kind of deal he hoped for last year and ended up returning to the Mets on a short-term basis. For the second consecutive season he played in all 162 games and improved on just about every offensive number slashing .272/.347/.571 with a league leading 41 doubles, 38 homers, and 126 RBI. His .871 OPS was the second highest of his career. While there are some concerns about his defense (career low -1.8 dWAR in 2025) this is the kind of right-handed power bat teams are fine with sticking at DH if needed.
SIGNED- Baltimore Orioles, $155 million/5 Years, 12/10
10. Gleyber Torres- 2B
Age: 29
Career bWAR: 18.7
2025 bWAR: 2.9
2025 Team: Detroit Tigers
Profile: Settled for a $15 mil/1 year deal after a disappointing 2024 and it paid off as he ended up starting the All-Star game for the American League although he probably wished the second half went a little better. The power numbers never quite returned to what they were when he was considered an up-and-coming superstar, but 22 doubles/16 homers is perfectly respectable coming out of your second baseman. Most impressively his already solid walk numbers increased while his strikeouts decreased from 65 BB/136 K in 2024 to 85 BB/101 K in 2025 despite having less plate appearance, indicative of an improving command of the strike zone. A solid addition to any lineup at a position not known for its offensive potency.

11. Dylan Cease- SP (R)
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 16.9
2025 bWAR: 1.1
2025 Team: San Diego Padres
Profile: Strikeout machine’s peripherals paint a much better picture than his bottom line. In 2025, Cease went 8-12 with a 4.55 ERA and 1.327 WHIP. He walked 71 while striking out 215 over 168 innings (32 starts). The K/9 rate was an MLB best 11.5 and a 3.56 FIP, almost exactly a full point lower than his ERA, indicating that he was on the receiving end of some pretty bad luck. Picked a bad time to have statistically the worst full season of his career but teams will nonetheless be lining up to get him into their pitching lab and the frontend of their rotation.

Edwin Diaz- RP (R)
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 13.8
2025 bWAR: 3.0
2025 Team: New York Mets
Profile: Elite of elite closer fully returned to form with a 1.63 ERA over 66.1 IP, 28 saves, 98 K/21 BB, and a 0.874 WHIP. Relievers are always volatile, but this is about as safe a bet as you’re going to find. Electric.

13. JT Realmuto- C
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 38.8
2025 bWAR: 2.6
2025 Team: Philadelphia Phillies
Profile: Starting to get up there in age but still a very solid catcher on both sides of the ball. Has been able to stay remarkably healthy for his 12-year career (for a catcher) and even though further regression is likely, he’s still better than a good two thirds of the league’s backstops. Experience starting catchers of his pedigree are rare finds on the free agency market.
RE-SIGNED- Philadelphia Phillies, $45 million/3 years, 1/16
14. Josh Naylor- 1B
Age: 28
Career bWAR: 8.4
2025 bWAR: 3.1
2025 Team: Arizona Diamondbacks + Seattle Mariners
Profile: Picked a great time to have the best season of his career, launching 20 homers with 92 RBI and a slash line of .292/.353/.462 over 604 PA with both Arizona and Seattle. Doesn’t strike out much for a bulky first baseman and even added stolen bases to his skillset this year, surprisingly going 30-for-32 on attempts (his previous career high was 10). Underrated middle-of-the-order bat.
RE-SIGNED- Seattle Mariners, TBD/5 Years, 11/16
Shota Imanaga- SP (L)
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 4.5
2025 bWAR: 1.5
2025 Team: Chicago Cubs
Profile: The wheels didn’t fall off entirely, but it was definitely a step in the wrong direction for Imanaga who saw his strikeout total go way down and his FIP go up by about a run. When all was said and done, it was still a perfectly solid season but nowhere near as good as his rookie campaign which saw him finish fifth in Cy Young voting- 25 starts, 144.2 IP, 3.73 ERA, 4.86 FIP, 0.988 WHIP, 117 K/26 BB. His command and ability to keep runners off base gives him a nice floor, but the fact that he averaged almost two home runs per nine innings is certainly something to note for teams that play in a smaller sized ballpark.

16. Zac Gallen- SP (R)
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 20.8
2025 bWAR: 1.1
2025 Team: Arizona Diamondbacks
Profile: Weird season. Threw 192 innings, the second highest of his career, but was far more hittable than he’s been in any season of his career with a career high 4.83 ERA with a FIP of 4.51 saying that his mediocrity wasn’t just a product of bad fortune. A team will almost certainly give him good money to try and bring him back to his past form when he was a yearly Cy Young candidate but now on the wrong side of 30, Gallen may have to reassess his arsenal and try something a little different as the aging process starts to get a little more noticeable.

17. Brandon Woodruff- SP (R)
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 18.6
2025 bWAR: 1.3
2025 Team: Milwaukee Brewers
Profile: High risk/high reward incarnate. Was excellent in his return after a lost 2024 season- 12 GS, 64.2 IP, 83 K/14 BB, 3.20 ERA, 0.912 WHIP. This is on par with his career numbers but unfortunately he’s approaching his mid-30s and injuries the likes of which he’s dealt with the last few seasons aren’t likely to magically get rarer as he ages. Still one of the best in the business when healthy. Approach with caution and plenty of depth.

18. Luis Arraez- 1B/2B
Age: 29
Career bWAR: 16.5
2025 bWAR: 1.3
2025 Team: San Diego Padres
Profile: Polarizing. Perhaps the best contact hitter of his generation, Arraez does things that no other players do with the bat. Consistently walks more than he strikes out though he rarely does either. He’s led the league in hits the past two years and before that won three consecutive batting titles (with three different teams). His glove isn’t anything special, but he can get by at second or first when needed. A one-tool player to some but that one tool is the most important of the five and his may well be better than anyone’s.
SIGNED- San Francisco Giants, $12 million/1 years, 1/31
19. Eugenio Suarez- 3B
Age: 34
Career bWAR: 26.8
2025 bWAR: 3.6
2025 Team: Arizona Diamondbacks + Seattle Mariners
Profile: In most years, Suarez’s raw power would be prodigious but with Kyle Schwarber and Pete Alonso on the market, he’s something of a bronze medal for those in need of homers. All the same, 49 home runs and a .524 slugging percentage is nothing to sneeze at even if it comes with a .228 AVG, .298 OBP, and 196 strikeouts. Regressed severely after a deadline trade to pitcher’s haven Seattle. The RH power is impressive and very real but can’t be depended on for much else.
SIGNED- Cincinnati Reds, $15 million/1 years, 2/1
20. Tatsuya Imai- SP (R)
Age: 27
Career bWAR: N/A
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: Seibu Lions
Profile: The latest Japanese star rumored to be heading to MLB, he hasn’t had an ERA above 2.50 since 2021 and was especially excellent in 2025, posting a 1.92 ERA over 163.2 innings with an 0.892 WHIP and 178 K/45 BB. This doesn’t mean that he’ll adjust seamlessly to MLB bats, but his arsenal (93 - 96 mph fastball that tops at 99, solid slider, splitter + curveball) and above-average command should give him a decent floor and a ceiling of a #2 or #3. Smaller frame (5’11’, 154 lb) makes for legitimate injury concerns.
SIGNED- Houston Astros, $63 million/3 years (opt out after each year), 1/1
21. Munetaka Murakami- 3B/1B
Age: 26
Career bWAR: N/A
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: Yakult Swallows
Profile: Japanese power hitter is young and has had a lot of success in Japan, most notably his 2022 season in which he hit 56 home runs as a 22-year-old, winning both the Triple Crown and his second consecutive MVP. It’s been somewhat downhill from there as power has gone down and the strikeouts have gone up. 2025 was a step in the right direction as he posted an impressive 1.051 OPS. Unfortunately, he was limited to just 69 games due to an oblique injury. Tough to tell how he’ll adjust to MLB pitching. High risk/high reward.
SIGNED- Chicago White Sox, $34 million/2 years, 12/21
22. Jorge Polanco- 2B/3B
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 20.7
2025 bWAR: 2.6
2025 Team: Seattle Mariners
Profile: Switch-hitter rebounded successfully in his second season with the Mariners after a lost 2024, posting his highest OPS (.821) since 2021 and blasting 30 doubles, 26 homers, and 78 RBI over 524 PA. Seemingly, the key was making more contact. He dropped his strikeouts from 137 to just 82 without sacrificing his ability to work a walk too seriously (46 in 2024 to 42 in 2025). A useful, versatile bat that currently lacks a defensive home, Polanco is much closer to becoming a full-time DH at this point, but he can still play some second base or third base in a pinch.
SIGNED- New York Mets, $40 Million/2 Years, 12/13
23. Zack Littell- SP (R)
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 8.3
2025 bWAR: 3.2
2025 Team: Tampa Bay Rays + Cincinnati Reds
Profile: Surprisingly solid workhorse. The Rays plucked Littell out of obscurity back in 2023 and transformed into one of the more reliable innings eaters in the league since. 2025 was unquestionably his best season as he worked 186.2 innings with 130 K/30 BB and a 3.81 ERA although a 4.88 FIP indicated some luck, particularly prior to his trade to the Reds. Not sexy, not an ace or even a #2 starter, but the kind of grinder contenders need for the 162-game marathon.
24. Merrill Kelly- SP (R)
Age: 37
Career bWAR: 15.8
2025 bWAR: 2.9
2025 Team: Arizona Diamondbacks + Texas Rangers
Profile: Following an injury-filled 2024, the late-blooming Arizona native bounced back in a big way, starting 32 games to the tune of a 3.52 ERA with 164 K/48 BB over 184 innings. He wasn’t quite as good after a deadline trade to Texas but still serviceable even as their playoff chances faded. Useful workhorse. Might not be reasonable to expect quite as many innings but the quality of work has been consistent since he returned from Korea back in 2019.
SIGNED- Arizona Diamondbacks, $40 Million/2 Years, 12/14
Robert Suarez- RP (R)
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 5.8
2025 bWAR: 2.3
2025 Team: San Diego Padres
Profile: Led the NL in saves with 40 and made the All-Star team for the second consecutive season. Very strong numbers- 2.97 ERA, 75 K/16 BB. 0.904 WHIP, 69.1 IP. Only slight concern is his age. Suarez is an excellent leverage option in any bullpen.
SIGNED- Atlanta Braves, $45 Million/3 Years, 12/11
26. Chris Bassitt- SP (R)
Age: 37
Career bWAR: 18.1
2025 bWAR: 2.1
2025 Team: Toronto Blue Jays
Profile: More of the same from the reliable innings eater. He’s certainly not getting any younger, but that didn’t stop him from making 31 starts and tossing 170.1 innings of serviceable 3.96 ERA baseball with 166 K/52 BB. Not sexy at all. Past his prime. Still a very useful starting pitcher for any rotation.
SIGNED- Baltimore Orioles, $18.5 million/1 year, 2/11
27. Trent Grisham- OF
Age: 29
Career bWAR: 14.6
2025 bWAR: 3.5
2025 Team: New York Yankees
Profile: Salvaged his future with a career year. Always an excellent fielder with power but a massively limited hit tool, the mustachioed outfielder still struggled in the batting average arena but managed to improve on his previous output while significantly upping the home run power. When all was said and done, he slashed .233/.348/.464 with a career best 34 home runs and a solid 82 BB/137 K rate. Hard to know if the improvement will stick. Someone will certainly pay to find out.

28. Tyler Mahle- SP (R)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 11.1
2025 bWAR: 2.1
2025 Team: Texas Rangers
Profile: Overall a very nice return to form for Mahle, the Reds’ seventh round draft pick back in 2013. He was outstanding when taking the mound in 2025 posting a 2.18 ERA that was somewhat lucky (3.37 FIP) but all the same indicates hitters had a difficult time squaring him up. Unfortunately, he was put on the IL with shoulder fatigue in mid-June and didn’t return until the end of the season totaling just 16 starts and 86.2 IP. He was more of a pitch to contact type with just average control (66 K/29 BB). The upside and results will get him plenty of opportunity, but the injury history is something to be weary of and regression is likely.
SIGNED- San Francisco Giants, $10 million/1 Year, 12/31
Harrison Bader- OF
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 17.3
2025 bWAR: 3.9
2025 Team: Minnesota Twins + Philadelphia Phillies
Profile: Defensive stud put together an outstanding 2025 combining his typically excellent defense with his best offensive numbers while also staying healthy for the second consecutive season- .277/.347/.449, 17 HR, 11 SB, 39 BB/136 K. Underrated difference maker.
SIGNED- San Francisco Giants, $20.5 million/2 years, 1/26
Pete Fairbanks- RP (R)
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 4.8
2025 bWAR: 1.2
2025 Team: Tampa Bay Rays
Profile: Long time Rays closer pitched a career high 60.1 innings in 2025. Fairbanks has frequently dealt with injuries and that does somewhat temper his overall value but the results are undeniable- since 2020, he has a 2.87 ERA and 2.94 FIP over 244.1 IP with 88 saves, and 304 K/88 BB. Approach with some caution but the ability is very much lethal.
SIGNED- Miami Marlins, $14 million/1 years, 12/24
31. Ryan O’Hearn- 1B/OF
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 3.1
2025 bWAR: 2.4
2025 Team: Baltimore Orioles + San Diego Padres
Profile: It was a solid season for the late-blooming O’Hearn, who started the All-Star game at DH for the American League before being sent alongside Ramon Laureano to the Padres at the deadline. He built on a strong 2024 season and posted a .281/.366/.437 slash line with 17 homers and 63 RBI over 544 PA on the season. Not bad at all but given his skillset, one would expect a little more home run power.
SIGNED- Pittsburgh Pirates, $27 million/2 years, 12/23
32. Lucas Giolito- SP (R)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 14.4
2025 bWAR: 2.1
2025 Team: Boston Red Sox
Profile: Came back from TJS pretty successfully and provided a steady middle-of-the-rotation arm for the Boston Red Sox. Ended up with a solid but not spectacular 3.41 ERA, 1.290 WHIP, 121 K/56 BB over 145 IP. Broke down towards the end of the season. Overall, a nice rebound that should earn him a multi-year deal somewhere.
33. Tyler Rogers- RP (R)
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 9.8
2025 bWAR: 2.4
2025 Team: San Francisco Giants + New York Mets
Profile: Dominated until the trade deadline with the Giants and then continued to dominate (though not quite to the same level) after a deadline trade to the Mets. It was easily the veteran righty’s career best season to date (1.98 ERA, 77.1 IP, 48 K/7 BB, 0.944 WHIP, MLB leading 81 appearances) but he’s been as reliable a bullpen option as one can hope for seven years now. No reason to think anything drops off significantly now even if 2025 was his peak.
SIGNED- Toronto Blue Jays, $37 million/3 years + 2029 $11 million vesting option, 12/12
34. Kenley Jansen- RP (R)
Age: 38
Career bWAR: 24.4
2025 bWAR: 2.4
2025 Team: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Profile: Potential Hall of Fame closer posted his best season since 2021, saving 29 games with a 2.59 ERA over 59 innings with 57 K/19 BB, and a 0.949 WHIP, his lowest since 2017. At 476 career saves, he’s motivated to pass the 500 marker. Known quantity but not getting any younger.

35. Kazuma Okamoto- 3B/1B/OF
Age: 29
Career bWAR: N/A
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: Yomiuri Giants
Profile: Draws walks, doesn’t strike out much, and hits a decent amount of homers but it’s very difficult to gauge what that is going to look like in the United States. Has played the most at third base but spent plenty of time in the outfield and at first base as well so the versatility gives teams plenty of options in how to use him. A real wild card.
SIGNED- Toronto Blue Jays, $60 Million/4 years, 1/4
36. Devin Williams- RP (R)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 8.7
2025 bWAR: -0.3
2025 Team: New York Yankees
Profile: Kind of a tough one to gauge because he was pretty bad, particularly early in the season, for the Yankees in 2025 but still struck out a huge number of batters (90 K/25 BB over 62 IP) and his 2.68 FIP compared to a 4.79 ERA says he got exceptionally unlucky. The under-the-hood numbers indicate that he’s basically the same pitcher he’s always been.
SIGNED- New York Mets, $51 Million/3 Years, 12/1
37. Raisel Iglesias- RP (R)
Age: 36
Career bWAR: 18.5
2025 bWAR: 1.3
2025 Team: Atlanta Braves
Profile: Long-time closer has had a quietly very good career. While his numbers regressed a little bit from his career-best 2024 season, he was still very solid as Braves posting a 3.21 ERA over 67.1 innings with a 3.31 FIP, 0.995 WHIP, and 73 K/16 BB to go with 29 saves. One of the more reliable arms on the market even as he’s getting up there in age.

Ha-Seong Kim- SS
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 15.4
2025 bWAR: 0.4
2025 Team: Tampa Bay Rays + Atlanta Braves
Profile: Spent a lot of the season dealing with a shoulder injury. Kim managed to get into 48 games split evenly between Atlanta and Tampa and did what he’s done his whole career, showing a serviceable bat and strong glove work. Assuming the shoulder issues are behind him, he should see plenty of interest from teams in need of a shortstop.

39. Adolis Garcia- OF
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 14.9
2025 bWAR: 2.7
2025 Team: Texas Rangers
Profile: Adolis isn’t what anyone would call a contact hitter, but there’s quite a bit of pop in his bat, is a solid base stealer, excellent defender, and has a rocket for an arm. On the downside, he dealt with some injuries in 2025, is on the wrong side of 30, and for a guy that strikes out as much as he does, he barely walks. He stands to benefit quite a bit from this year’s weak outfield class.
SIGNED- Philadelphia Phillis, $10 million/1 Year, 12/15
40. Danny Jansen- C
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 11.3
2025 bWAR: 2.6
2025 Team: Tampa Bay Rays + Milwaukee Brewers
Profile: Excellent defensive catcher with good power and a decent eye but little batting average or speed- .215/.321/.399 slash line sums up his bat well. A high-end #2 catcher or low-end #1 which is becoming more and more of a rarity in free agency these days.
SIGNED- Texas Rangers, $51 Million/3 Years, 12/1
41. Brad Keller- RP (R)
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 10.3
2025 bWAR: 1.5
2025 Team: Chicago Cubs
Profile: The two-time Kansas City Royals opening day starter brought his career back from the dead with an outstanding season in a leverage relief role- 69.2 IP, 2.07 ERA, 2.94 FIP, 0.962 WHIP, 75 K/22 BB. Keller’s days as an opening day starter may be over but his career sure isn’t.
SIGNED- Philadelphia Phillies, $22 million/2 Years, 12/18
42. Ryan Helsley- RP (R)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 7.3
2025 bWAR: 0.1
2025 Team: St. Louis Cardinals + New York Mets
Profile: Led the league in saves in 2024 with 49, earning himself an All-Star berth and even some Cy Young votes. He was not as good in 2025, not even close, pitching a respectable but not as good first half with the Cardinals before totally imploding to a 7.20 ERA over 20 innings after a deadline trade to the Mets. It was a 4.50 ERA combined over 56 innings with 63 K/25 BB. This most recent season (really just the last two months) was an outlier in what has otherwise been a solid career, but relievers can get bad in a hurry.
SIGNED- Baltimore Orioles, $28 Million/2 Year (opt out after year 1), 11/29
43. Rhys Hoskins- 1B
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 12.1
2025 bWAR: 0.9
2025 Team: Milwaukee Brewers
Profile: Big strong right-handed bat. More of an injury risk than your average first baseman but the power is very real. The poor man’s Pete Alonso- .237/.332/.416, 12 HR, 43 RBI, 38 BB/91 K, 328 PA.
SIGNED- Cleveland Guardians, MiLB deal, 2/22
44. Anthony Kay- SP (L)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: -0.2
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: Yokohama Baystars
Profile: Former second round pick was an MLB bust leading to a two-year hiatus in Japan. Kay’s first year for the Yokohama Bay Stars was relatively pedestrian. His 2025 was excellent as he posted a 1.80 ERA over 155 innings with 130 K/41 BB and a 0.981 WHIP. There’s no guarantee that this success will transfer over to America but given his pedigree, it seems likely there will be a rotation spot waiting for the UConn stand out if he wants it.
SIGNED- Chicago White Sox, $12 million/2 Years, 12/3
45. Ramon Urias- 3B/2B
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 11.2
2025 bWAR: 2.2
2025 Team: Baltimore Orioles + Houston Astros
Profile: Excellent defensive third baseman with a little bit of pop in the bat, Urias is a career .257/.321/.403/.723 hitter and while he’s probably best utilized off the bench, he’s proven he can hold his own in a starting role as needed. Underrated.
SIGNED- St. Louis Cardinals, $2 Million/1 Year, 2/19
46. Victor Caratini- C/1B
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 4.3
2025 bWAR: 0.9
2025 Team: Houston Astros
Profile: A good catcher who can hit is an increasingly rare commodity. He can probably start if so desired although he was a backup in Houston where the switch-hitting Puerto Rican hit 12 home runs and slashed .259/.324/.404 over 386 PA in 2025. A team isn’t going to win any awards for signing him, but he can be a very, very useful piece for a contender.
SIGNED- Minnesota Twins, $14 million/2 years, 1/15
47. Miguel Andujar- 3B/OF
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 2.3
2025 bWAR: 0.8
2025 Team: A’s + Cincinnati Reds
Profile: Quietly put together a splendid season mashing lefties, particularly after he was sent to the Reds at the trade deadline where he was instrumental in their late season playoff push. When the smoke cleared, the former top Yankees prospect posted the best season of his career- .318/.352/.470, 10 HR, 341 PA. Hard to say if he’s a starter or a platoon bat but it’s clear that he can hit.
SIGNED- San Diego Padres, $4 million/1 year, 2/4
48. Shawn Armstrong- RP (R)
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 3.9
2025 bWAR: 1.5
2025 Team: Texas Rangers
Profile: Finally put it all together full a full season in his 11th year in the majors. We got a glimpse of his potential in 2023 but his 2025 dwarfed that performance as he went 74 IP with a 2.31 ERA, 0.811 WHIP, and 74 K/20 BB. Saved nine games and allowed just 40 hits throughout the season. Perhaps a little regression is due but he showed that if he can stay healthy, he’s a valuable leverage reliever.
SIGNED- Cleveland Guardians, $5.5 million/1 Year, 12/18
49. Luis Rengifo- UT
Age: 29
Career bWAR: 6.6
2025 bWAR: 0.3
2025 Team: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Profile: Utilityman stayed healthy but had a down year (.238/.287/.335, 541 PA) after two very solid but injury-shortened seasons (.279/.342/.433). He’s useful due to his versatility, speed, and switch-hitting even in a bench role. Good bet for someone to buy low on a short-term deal where he can rebuild some of his value.
SIGNED- Milwaukee Brewers, $3.5 million/1 year, 2/13
50. Cedric Mullins- OF
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 0.3
2025 bWAR: 15.7
2025 Team: Baltimore Orioles + New York Mets
Profile: Athletic centerfielder struggled mightily in his pre-free agency season. He still homered a good amount (17) and stole 22 bases, but his signature defense struggled, particularly prior to his trade to the Mets, and he slashed a meager .216/.299/.391 over 498 PA. A rebound isn’t out of the question, and perhaps a full season change of scenery will rejuvenate him, but the Greensboro, North Carolina native is at an age where players of his archetype historically start to decline.
SIGNED- Tampa Bay Rays, $6 Million/1 Year, 12/3
51. Justin Verlander- SP (R)
Age: 43
Career bWAR: 81.7
2025 bWAR: 1.2
2025 Team: San Francisco Giants
Profile: Future first ballot Hall of Famer probably has another one in him if he wants to keep going. Didn’t do great in San Francisco. Didn’t do badly either- 29 starts, 152 IP, 3.85 ERA, 1.362 WHIP, 137 K/52 BB. Might not be the same pitcher who won three Cy Young awards, but his pedigree and reputation alone make him valuable, and he can still most importantly get big league hitters out.
SIGNED- Detroit Tigers, $13 million/1 year, 2/10
52. Emilio Pagan- RP (R)
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 6.4
2025 bWAR: 2.0
2025 Team: Cincinnati Reds
Profile: Veteran reliever did a really nice job stepping into the Reds closer role for their surprising playoff chase. Over 68.2 innings, he saved a career-high 32 games with a 2.88 ERA, 0.917 WHIP, and 81 K/22 BB. Who knows if he can repeat, relievers being the volatile bunch that they are, but he’s done it before, he can do it again.
RE-SIGNED- Cincinnati Reds, $20 Million (opt out after year 1)/2 Years, 12/3
53. Luke Weaver- RP (R)
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 3.5
2025 bWAR: 0.8
2025 Team: New York Yankees
Profile: Overworked over the last couple series having resurrected his career as a Yankee leverage arm. Excellent is 2024, merely good in 2025. Might transition back to being a starting pitcher. A real wild card with numerous possible outcomes.
SIGNED- New York Mets, $22 million/2 Years, 12/18
54. Mike Yastrzemski- OF
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 16.8
2025 bWAR: 2.7
2025 Team: San Francisco Giants + Kansas City Royals
Profile: The late bloomer does a lot of things well as evidenced by his 2.7 bWAR in 2025 after slashing .233/.333/.403 with 28 doubles, 17 home runs, and 72 BB/108 K over 558 PA. His power really went up after a trade to the Royals saw him bash nine homers over his final 50 games (186 PA) and actually walked more than he struck out (25 BB/22 K). Probably best utilized in the larger portion of a platoon at this point but there’s a solid MLB veteran still in there.
SIGNED- Atlanta Braves, $19 million/2 years + club option, 12/10
55. Adrian Houser- SP (R)
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 5.9
2025 bWAR: 3.3
2025 Team: Chicago White Sox + Tampa Bay Rays
Profile: Houser brought back his career from the dead with an outstanding 11 starts for the White Sox that saw him post a 2.10 ERA over 68.2 innings with a 1.223 WHIP and 47 K/22 BB. Things didn’t go quite as well after a trade to the Rays at the deadline (4.79 ERA, 56.1 IP) but he did enough that he’ll deservedly get another opportunity to pitch in an MLB rotation come 2026.
SIGNED- San Francisco Giants, $22 million/2 Years, 12/16
56. Steven Matz- RP (L)
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 11.0
2025 bWAR: 0.9
2025 Team: St. Louis Cardinals + Boston Red Sox
Profile: Started the season in the rotation for St. Louis before successfully transitioning to the bullpen where he thrived in multiple roles until a trade to the Red Sox made him a key piece of the pen for the playoff chase after acquiring him at the deadline. More likely to return to the pen given the success and his advancing age.
SIGNED- Tampa Bay Rays, $15 million/2 Years, 12/8
57. Cody Ponce- SP (R)
Age: 32
Career bWAR: -0.6
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: Hanwha Eagles (KBO)
Profile: Had a positively ridiculous season in Korea going 17-1 with a 1.89 ERA over 180.2 IP with 252 K/41 BB and a 0.935 WHIP. Obviously, those numbers aren’t going to translate identically to MLB but it’s interesting enough to give him an opportunity to compete at the MLB level for the first time since 2021. Absolute wild card.
SIGNED- Toronto Blue Jays, $30 Million/3 Year, 12/2
58. Jose Quintana- SP (L)
Age: 37
Career bWAR: 31.7
2025 bWAR: 1.4
2025 Team: Milwaukee Brewers
Profile: Soft-tossing lefty isn’t going to blow up the radar gun but can still get outs and eat innings effectively. Good candidate for a one-year deal with a non-contender who will be moved at the deadline for prospects if things are going well.
SIGNED- Colorado Rockies, $6 million/1 year, 2/10
59. Nick Martinez- SP (R)
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 11.2
2025 bWAR: 2.3
2025 Team: Cincinnati Reds
Profile: Worked as both a starter and reliever for the starting pitcher-loaded Reds and did a valiant albeit unspectacular job when the dust had settled, posting a 4.45 ERA over 165.2 IP (26 starts +14 appearances out of the pen) with a mediocre 116 K/45 BB. Would assume he’ll be looking to stick as a starter where the money is better. An effective #4 type in that role.
SIGNED- Tampa Bay Rays, $13 million/1 year, 2/9
60. Kyle Finnegan- RP (R)
Age: 34
Career bWAR: 4.3
2025 bWAR: 1.0
2025 Team: Washington Nationals + Detroit Tigers
Profile: Did what he always does, serving as a solid late inning arm for the bottom-feeding Washington Nationals. This time however, he was traded to the Tigers where he was outstanding for the stretch run, posting a 1.50 ERA and 0.722 WHIP over 18 innings with 23 K/4 BB and four saves in their playoff push. Underrated and about as consistent an arm as you’ll find out of a relief pitcher.
RE-SIGNED- Detroit Tigers, $19 million/2 Years, 12/9
61. Jakob Junis- RP (R)
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 9.6
2025 bWAR: 0.9
2025 Team: Cleveland Guardians
Profile: Another quietly solid season out of the pen for Junis who thrived in a more traditional bullpen role for the Guardians- 2.97 ERA, 66.2 IP, 55 K/18 BB. Reliable bullpen glue pieces are more valuable than meets the eye.
SIGNED- Texas Rangers, $4 million/1 year, 1/18
62. Isiah Kiner-Falafa- UT
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 16
2025 bWAR: 1.7
2025 Team: Pittsburgh Pirates + Toronto Blue Jays
Profile: Defense is his strong suit but there’s enough in the bat to get by and he’ll steal some bases as well. On a contender, he’s a very useful bench piece. On a second division team, he’s the type to start and then get traded at the deadline.
SIGNED- Boston Red Sox, $6 million/1 year, 2/6
63. Jonah Heim- C
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 7.0
2025 bWAR: 0.4
2025 Team: Texas Rangers
Profile: Hitting home runs and playing good defense are pretty much all you need to do to start as a catcher these days, and Heim can do both of those things. The switch-hitting New Yorker has been durable and has hit double-digit home runs in each of his MLB seasons since 2021. The defense was previously excellent, even winning a Gold Glove in 2023, but regressed a bit in 2025. While still passable, that will have to improve for him to stay as a #1 catcher since his only particularly used offensive skill is his power. He’s had a .602 OPS for two straight seasons now, with .653 for his career.
SIGNED- Atlanta Braves, $1.5 million/1 year, 2/10
64. Max Scherzer- SP (R)
Age: 41
Career bWAR: 75.6
2025 bWAR: 0.2
2025 Team: Toronto Blue Jays
Profile: Future first ballot Hall of Famer had his moments, but it’s very obvious he’s running on fumes at this stage of his illustrious career. When he was healthy, he was still able to compete. He did seem to re-find something resembling his “Mad Max” form in the postseason including a game seven start in the World Series in which he outpitched Shohei Ohtani.
RE-SIGNED- Toronto Blue Jays, $3 million (up to $10 million in incentive), 2/26
65. Paul Goldschmidt- 1B
Age: 38
Career bWAR: 63.8
2025 bWAR: 1.2
2025 Team: New York Yankees
Profile: Veteran first baseman is a borderline Hall of Famer who can still swing it a little- he homered a career low 10 times but still slashed a respectable .274/.328/.403 over 145 games. Isn’t going to win another MVP but can still help a contender out in the right role. Should be motivated to win as continues building his case for Cooperstown.
RE-SIGNED- New York Yankees, $4 million/1 year, 2/6
66. Austin Hays- OF
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 10.5
2025 bWAR: 0.8
2025 Team: Cincinnati Reds
Profile: Injuries aside, it was a solid season for Hays- .266/.315/.453, 15 HR, 64 RBI, 7 SB, 29 BB/109 K. Probably best used as the smaller side of a platoon, he’s still a very serviceable MLB outfielder even if he has never quite lived up to the hype he had as a 22-year-old rookie.
SIGNED- Chicago White Sox, $6 million/1 years, 1/30
67. Josh Bell- 1B
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 8.7
2025 bWAR: 0.5
2025 Team: Washington Nationals
Profile: Switch-hitting professional. Good for about 20 homers a year and a slash line around .250/.340/.440 in a full season. Nothing to write home about but there’s something to be said for reliable consistency. Never going to be a star, but he can still start for a second division club and hold his own just fine.
SIGNED- Minnesota Twins, $6.5 million/1 Years, 12/15
68. Marcell Ozuna- DH
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 29.5
2025 bWAR: 1.6
2025 Team: Atlanta Braves
Profile: It wasn’t one of Ozuna’s better seasons to follow up his 2024 All-Star campaign. He still produced somewhat with a .232/.355/.400 slash line to go with 21 homers and 68 RBI over 594 PA. Walked a career 94 times but the rest of his offense dropped pretty spectacularly which is not a good sign for someone who hasn’t played a defensive position since 2023 and already has some off-the-feel red flags.
SIGNED- Pittsburgh Pirates, $12 million/1 years, 2/9
69. Zach Eflin- SP (R)
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 12.6
2025 bWAR: -0.4
2025 Team: Baltimore Orioles
Profile: Good pitcher in the past ended his tenure in Baltimore on a bad note, struggling with injury all season and pitching poorly when actually on the mound (just 14 starts). Not getting any younger and the injuries have been a fairly consistent issue, but he has enough of a track record to get another opportunity.
RE-SIGNED- Baltimore Orioles, $10 million/1 year, 12/22
70. Griffin Canning- SP (R)
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 5.8
2025 bWAR: 1.1
2025 Team: New York Mets
Profile: Finally away from the Angels, Canning pitched pretty well (16 starts, 76.1 IP, 7-3 W/L, 3.77 ERA, 70 K/35 BB) before blowing out his knee. Ceiling might be a little higher than we’ve seen if he can stay healthy.
SIGNED- San Diego Padres, $1.5 million/1 year, 2/13
71. Nathanael Lowe- 1B
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 12.2
2025 bWAR: 0.1
2025 Team: Washington Nationals + Boston Red Sox
Profile: Lowe crashed and burned badly with the Nationals but looked like his old self again after Boston acquired him in August, slashing .280/.370/.420/.790 with a couple of homers and 16 RBI over 119 PA, helping Boston make their way back to the playoffs for the first time since 2021. Really does look like he needed a change of scenery from the hellscape of Washington DC.

72. Tomoyuki Sugano- SP (R)
Age: 36
Career bWAR: 1.2
2025 bWAR: 1.2
2025 Team: Baltimore Orioles
Profile: Did alright in his first showing in the US. Obviously past his prime given his storied career in Japan, but he can still help eat innings stateside as he’s expressed a desire to do and might even be a little bit better with a year of experience under his belt.
SIGNED- Colorado Rockies, $5.1 million/1 year, 2/10
73. Evan Phillips- RP (R)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 3.4
2025 bWAR: 0.4
2025 Team: Los Angeles Dodgers
Profile: One of the better relievers in baseball, Phillips was off to his typically excellent start when he went down with an arm injury and that resulted in late May Tommy John Surgery. He’ll likely be back at some point in 2026.
RE-SIGNED- Los Angeles Dodgers, $6.5 million/1 year, 2/11
74. Wilmer Flores- 1B
Age: 34
Career bWAR: 9.3
2025 bWAR: 0.3
2025 Team: San Francisco Giants
Profile: Limited to 1B and DH at this stage of the game, Flores mashes lefties. He’s best utilized as a small-side platoon piece. If he gets close to the 463 PA he had with the Giants last year, something has likely gone wrong.
75. Starling Marte- OF
Age: 37
Career bWAR: 39.3
2025 bWAR: 1.0
2025 Team: New York Mets
Profile: Still a useful veteran with a variety of skills when healthy. Unfortunately, that “healthy” part hasn’t really been the case in a few years. Likely best used in a part-time role at this stage of his career.
76. Rob Refsnyder- OF
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 3.2
2025 bWAR: 1.2
2025 Team: Boston Red Sox
Profile: Reliable veteran mashes lefties and holds his own against righties. Has posted a .830 OPS or higher in three of the last four seasons. A bit fragile. Expect somewhere between 200 and 300 PA. Perfect in a fourth outfielder bench role.

78. Michael Soroka- SP (R)
Age: 28
Career bWAR: 6.8
2025 bWAR: 0.6
2025 Team: Washington Nationals + Chicago Cubs
Profile: Big Canadian was somewhat effective when healthy, walking less batters while striking out about the same. Still gave up far too many runs and got hurt for an extended period almost immediately after being traded. Pitched as a reliever after returning to mostly very good results. Bullpen could very well be his best option moving forward but for now Soroka is still a starter. Surprisingly young given how long he’s been around and how much time he’s spent injured.
SIGNED- Arizona Diamondbacks, $7.5 million + incentives/1 Years 12/8
79. Danny Coulombe- RP (L)
Age: 36
Career bWAR: 5.2
2025 bWAR: 1.4
2025 Team: Minnesota Twins
Profile: Injury-prone southpaw setup man is very solid when healthy. Was basically unhittable with the Twins (1.16 ERA, 31 IP) before a deadline trade to Texas saw him get hit pretty bad (6.64 ERA, 12 IP). Reasonable to think he can be a solid leverage arm again but wise to temper the volume of innings he can do it for.
80. Pierce Johnson- RP (R)
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 3.2
2025 bWAR: 1.1
2025 Team: Atlanta Braves
Profile: Johnson is a quietly effective reliever who can work setup and even close as needed. Decidedly unsexy but can’t complain about a 3.59 ERA with 77 K/27 BB over 64 innings on average over the last three seasons.
SIGNED- Cincinnati Reds, $6.5 million/1 year, 1/11
81. Taylor Rogers- RP (L)

Career bWAR: 7.7
2025 bWAR: 0.4
2025 Team: Cincinnati Reds + Pittsburgh Pirates + Chicago Cubs
Profile: The lefty variant of the Rogers twins was very successful with the Reds but got beat up a bit after a trade to the Cubs. A useful middle reliever with the ceiling to be used in leverage. Funky arm angle.

83. Seranthony Dominguez- RP (R)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 4.6
2025 bWAR: 0.5
2025 Team: Baltimore Orioles + Toronto Blue Jays
Profile: Big armed righty had a good season with Baltimore and kept the momentum going after a trade to Toronto- 62.2 IP, 3.16 ERA, 79 K/36 BB, led MLB in wild pitches with 12. Never quite lived up to the closer-of-the-future hype placed on him as a prospect with the Phillies but he’s still a perfectly valuable 7th/8th inning arm.

Age: 33
Career bWAR: 2.2
2025 bWAR: 1.3
2025 Team: St. Louis Cardinals + Texas Rangers
Profile: Signed very late in free agency (mid-March). It didn’t really hinder the Louisiana Tech alum as he went on to have the best season of his career (61.1 IP, 2.79 ERA, 81 K/23 BB). Doesn’t throw hard but has good breaking stuff and a deceptive delivery.

85. Caleb Thielbar- RP (L)
Age: 39
Career bWAR: 5.6
2025 bWAR: 1.1
2025 Team: Chicago Cubs
Profile: Looked to be on his way out after a mediocre 2024 but fate had other plans for the resilient St. Paul Saints legend who went four years between MLB appearances (2016 - 2019). Proving that no MLB lefty reliever is really ever too old to bounce back so long as they’re persistent, Thielbar had the best season of his career at 38 years old, posting a 2.64 ERA over 58 innings with 56 K/13 BB and a fantastic 0.879 WHIP. Hard to expect a repeat but the 3.00 FIP says that his success was more than dumb luck. Biggest reason for the improvement was straightforward- he threw more strikes.

2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: Kiwoom Heroes
Profile: Korean infielder has been an offensive force in the KBO for a few years now, most recently slashing .315/.387/.530/.917 over 646 PA with 37 doubles, 26 homers, 90 RBI, 25 stolen bases, and 68 BB/96 K. Very solid numbers but it’s tough to gauge how a player of his caliber is going to translate over to the US. Korea is kind of like Double-A as far as skill level goes, but that doesn’t mean he won’t be able to make the jump, only that any statistics must be taken with a grain of salt.

Age: 31

2025 Team: Kansas City Royals
Profile: Harvey didn’t allow a run in 10.2 innings in 2025 while posting an excellent 0.656 WHIP and 11 K/1 BB. That’s certainly a small sample but a career 3.11 ERA over 185 IP with 201 K/51 BB says this is a leverage arm. The concern with him is injury risk. He just hasn’t been able to stay healthy since a 2024 trade to Kansas City.

2025 Team: Chicago Cubs
Profile: Maybe the most unlikely comeback of the season given he hadn’t pitched MLB in four years. If your kid is lefty, teach them to throw hard and to have a lot of persistence- they’ll be able to play ball forever. While he tired as the season went on, the 2018 World Champion posted a 2.17 ERA over 49.2 innings with 57 K/15 BB and pitching in a variety of roles from starter to setup man, even working a save in there. Between him and Caleb Thielbar, the Cubs really were the team for aging lefties to resurrect their dying careers in 2025.

2025 Team: Minnesota Twins + Chicago Cubs
Profile: Disastrous performance over the last two months of the season following a trade to the Cubs really damaged the final line- a meager .679 OPS to go with 11 HR and 10 SB over 454 PA makes him a lot more desirable as a utility bench option than an everyday regular. Versatility and a higher ceiling than others could get him a shot to start with a rebuilding team who can give him playing time and then trade him to a contender at the deadline.

2025 Team: Philadelphia Phillies
Profile: The German-born outfielder had a rough go of it in his first season away from Minnesota- 474 PA, .216/.300/.391, 18 HR, 52 RBI, 48 BB/93 K. The power is nice enough that you can justify giving him a mulligan in a platoon role (he can’t hit lefties) but there has to be a backup plan in case decline continues.

2025 Team: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Profile: Stayed healthy for about half the season, and in that time wasn’t half bad- .783 OPS, 12 home runs, 32 BB/75 K over 289 PA. While the power was good, his speed is basically nonexistent at this point, and he once again couldn’t stay on the field. Though his excellent 2019 is now a distant memory, there’s still some juice in the former #1 prospect’s bat. He may need to prove himself on an MiLB contract at this stage of the game.

Profile: The Vandy alum was the fourth pick of the 2019 draft but has thus far failed to live up to the hype. Bleday appeared to be moving in the right direction after a solid 2024 but regressed enough in 2025 that the A’s non-tendered him. He still has some thump in his bat (.404 SLG) to help a team, and his BB/K ratio wasn’t quite as bad as one might expect but he’s got to figure out how to strikeout less (91 K over 344 PA in 2025).

2025 Team: Kansas City Royals
Profile: Pitch-to-contact reliever was born with paralysis of the muscles on the right side of his face, something that hasn’t stopped him from becoming a professional athlete. After spending the entirety of the 2024 season in Triple-A, his career appeared to be approaching it’s end. Then he went and had the best season of his career with what may have been his final opportunity in 2025 posting a 3.25 ERA (3.97 FIP) and 0.849 WHIP over 55.1 innings with 44 K/9 BB. He didn’t miss many bats, but he also didn’t let many runners on-base. Proved he still has plenty of value as a middle reliever.

2025 Team: Arizona Diamondbacks
Profile: Limited to just 137 PA but played pretty well in that time, slashing .260/.324/.431 with five home runs and 17 RBI while playing solid defense. Nothing close to what he was at his peak in 2019, but McCann is still a useful veteran backup.

Profile: Well-traveled, well-mustached lefty also known as “Big Country” just keeps chugging along. He only threw 33.2 innings due to hamstring and triceps injuries, but was very effective in them, posting a 2.41 ERA with 36 K/19 BB and a 1.426 WHIP. A 3.46 FIP says there was definitely some luck involved. Even acknowledging that, he was still a fairly useful MLB reliever all the same.

Profile: Had a really nice rebound season as a swingman after over half a decade of complete irrelevance, further proving that lefties really do have unlimited opportunities provided they can throw strikes. He was even better after the Red Sox gave up on him and ended the season with 2.73 ERA over 92.1 IP with 91 K/31 BB and a 1.354 WHIP. Quietly one of the biggest surprises of the 2025 season.

Profile: Charismatic lunatic just keeps rolling along, doing what he’s done for years and getting 400+ plate appearances despite not really having any statistics that stand out beyond times survived getting stabbed in a Vegas strip club parking lot (1). Didn’t even get traded at the deadline for the first time since 2021 despite playing for the bottom-dwelling Pirates. Finished the season slashing .245/.330/.370 with 10 home runs and 50 BB/94 K. I’d say he should probably be a small-side platoon option. Despite that, we all know that when everything is said and done, he’ll basically have the same season that he always has. It doesn’t have to make sense- he’s Tommy friggen Pham.

Unfortunately, the rest of his numbers weren’t very good as he posted a 4.84 ERA with 100 K/37 BB and a 1.348 WHIP.

Profile: Unexciting veterans inning eater did not repeat his solid 2024 season. This was fairly predictable given the under-the-hood numbers indicated he’d gotten fairly lucky but sometimes those numbers are red herrings. Not this time- over 140.2 innings, Lorenzen’s control improved, his walks dropping from 60 to 39 despite pitching 11.1 more innings in 2025 but he got hit much harder when the ball was thrown over the plate. Back of the rotation veteran who you hope can get a little luckier this year if given another opportunity.

Profile: Veteran setup man’s age started to show this year. He wasn’t terrible, but he wasn’t very good either. Ironically, he also pitched the most innings (63) he’s thrown since his rookie year back in 2014 so maybe there was some overuse involved.

Hasn’t been anywhere close to his Detroit form since he left, and honestly, at least one of those All-Star berths was because teams are required to have them.

Profile: Rough season. Stayed mostly healthy but never really clicked with the Red Sox despite a sizable one-year investment. Boston actually initially wanted three years on the deal but he bet on himself and you have to think the executives are counting their lucky stars. Did a lot bit better with Philly though the sample size was small (13.2 innings). Still somehow managed to win 10 games. That was enough that he’ll probably get another chance somewhere given the pedigree though it very well could be his last one.

Profile: Oft-injured righty pitched the most innings of his career (132.1) but that’s where the positives end. Got hit pretty hard, got traded from a team in need of arms to a team even more in need of arms, then got hurt again when he was most needed. Still young enough and talented enough to turn it around but as things stand now, zero reason to trust him with any meaningful sort of contract.

Was excellent as recently as 2023 when he helped pitch the Rangers a World Series title. A team will likely give him a chance. The question is if and how quickly the veteran lefty can return to form after a full year of rehab.

2025 Team: Los Angeles Dodgers
Profile: Very talented but also very injury-prone, Gonsolin is a masterclass in high-risk high-reward. He’s dealt with a lot of injuries starting in 2023 with a Tommy John surgery that caused him to miss all of 2024. He made it back to the majors in 2025 but hurt his back while lifting weights during spring training. After a late April activation, he made seven starts of mediocre quality before being shut down with elbow discomfort. It turned out that he needed a second elbow procedure that involved having an internal brace put in as well as flexor repair surgery on his shoulder. All that reads like some badly damaged goods, but there’s always the hope that he can find something resembling the form that made him an All-Star in 2022.

2025 Team: Chicago Cubs
Profile: Dollar Tree loving catcher caught on with the Cubs and displayed the most power of his career, blasting nine home runs in just 140 plate appearances. His defense was pedestrian and he didn’t add much as far as batting average or on-base percentage but that kind of power coming out of your backup catcher is a nice luxury. There will be a team out there looking to see if he can do it again.

2025 bWAR: -0.4
2025 Team: Seattle Mariners + Texas Rangers
Profile: Rowdy is his name (well actually it’s Ryan but no one calls him that) and home runs are his game. In 2025, he bashed 17 of them over 312 PA and drove in 49 runs. Outside of his power, he doesn’t offer a whole lot- his .228/.276/.448 slash line tells you exactly what he is. Worth noting, he was much better after leaving hitter’s nightmare Seattle for the Texas Rangers.

Dealt with injuries all season, particularly a bad case of plantar fasciitis. We’ll see if late season surgery and perhaps a change of scenery can right his ship. Hard to imagine his doing any worse.

2025 bWAR: 0.4
2025 Team: San Francisco Giants
Profile: Dom Smith is an excellent “break glass in emergency” player. If your first baseman goes down, he’s your guy. If he’s on your opening day roster, something very bad has happened. He actually hit pretty well in 2025 before getting hurt to end the season- .284/.333/.417, 5 home runs, 33 RBI. The problem is that those are very solid stats if you’re a middle infielder. A slow first baseman? Not so much.

Profile: Pitched the most innings of his career (158) in 2025 but the good stopped there as the big righty also led the AL in earned runs and posted a less than sexy 5.35 ERA. Best case scenario for right now is a #5 starter that eats innings.

He pitched out of the rotation and the bullpen for the Yankees in 2025, posting numbers fairly consistent with his career norms (4.36 ERA, 64 IP, 55 K/19 BB). Decidedly unsexy and lacking in upside but there’s still some value in a consistent, change-of-pace veteran. Best utilized as a swingman.

Injuries have played a part as he missed all of 2023 and 2024 and struggled to throw strikes upon returning.

Profile: Can play anywhere on the field, has a little power and turns into a monster in the playoffs for whatever reason. Probably more valuable specifically to the Dodgers than any other team.

136. Scott Barlow- RP (R)
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 7.9
2025 bWAR: 0.7
2025 Team: Cincinnati Reds
Profile: Durable middle reliever has regressed a bit since his 2021/22 peak as Kansas City closer. The problem has been a loss of control which reached its apex in 2025 as Barlow walked 45 batters in 68.1 innings. If he can turn that around, the ceiling gets higher.
SIGNED- A’s formerly of Oakland, $2 million/1 year, 2/6
137. Patrick Corbin- SP (L)
Age: 36
Career bWAR: 14.2
2025 bWAR: -0.5
2025 Team: Texas Rangers
Profile: Somewhat surprisingly held a spot in the Rangers rotation for the whole season, continuing his streak of 30 or more starts a season since 2017 (2020 Covid season excluded). The ability to pitch every five days is without question his greatest strength. Weaknesses include pretty much everything else. His 4.40 ERA/1.365 WHIP is very fitting. He’s ideally no better than your #5 starter, and even then, he’s probably not your first choice. Virtually zero upside.
138. Joey Lucchesi- RP (L)
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 4.3
2025 bWAR: 0.4
2025 Team: San Francisco Giants
Profile: Former starter showed there’s something left with a solid season for the Giants- 38.1 IP, 3.76 ERA (3.97 FIP), 1.226 WHIP, 31 K/12 BB. No reason he can’t have another useful season as a southpaw middle reliever.
139. John Means- SP (L)
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 10.5
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: N/A
Profile: Has made ten starts since 2021 due to multiple Tommy John surgeries. Missed all of 2025 rehabbing. He’s actually been quite good when healthy but very hard to trust he can maintain that for any length of time. Massive risk though not without a reward.
SIGNED- Kansas City Royals, MiLB deal/2 years, 2/13
140. German Marquez- SP (R)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 16.5
2025 bWAR: -1.2
2025 Team: Colorado Rockies
Profile: The stats are meaningless- let’s see what he can do outside of the hellscape that is pitching for the Rockies. Surprisingly good in his younger days. Results of late have been terrible. Tough to say how he’ll be now, but you have to assume he’ll be better than in Colorado.
SIGNED- San Diego Padres, $1 million/1 year, 2/14
141. Erick Fedde- SP (R)
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 4.8
2025 bWAR: -0.6
2025 Team: St. Louis Cardinals + Atlanta Braves + Milwaukee Brewers
Profile: After an excellent return to MLB after dominating the KBO, Fedde fell on hard times again in 2025 ultimately getting cut. Twice. He walked more batters and struck out less, always a recipe for regression. Nonetheless, he still ate plenty of innings (141) and looked a little bit better with his final team, the pitching savvy Brewers, so there is some hope he can turn it back around.
SIGNED- Chicago White Sox, $1.5 million/1 year, 2/9
142. Alek Manoah- SP (R)
Age: 28
Career bWAR: 7.3
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: Toronto Blue Jays + Atlanta Braves
Profile: Former top prospect has dealt with just about every issue a player can deal with both physically and personally. Still young enough to turn the ship around but he hasn’t made it easy on himself.
SIGNED- Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, $1.95 Million/1 Year, 12/2
143. Hoby Milner- RP (L)
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 1.1
2025 bWAR: -0.6
2025 Team: Texas Rangers
Profile: Funky windup. Perfectly fine as your second lefty getting middle relief work. Not to be trusted in a leverage role.
SIGNED- Chicago Cubs, $3.75/1 Year, 12/11
144. Carlos Santana- 1B
Age: 40
Career bWAR: 39.3
2025 bWAR: 1.1
2025 Team: Cleveland Guardians + Chicago Cubs
Profile: Still draws walks and plays a clean defensive first base. Power has dropped a bit as is expected with age. Santana is better than most 40-year-olds but he’s still a 40-year-old.
SIGNED- Arizona Diamondbacks, $2 million/1 year, 2/4
145. Jonathan Loaisiga- RP (R)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 4.2
2025 bWAR: 0.2
2025 Team: New York Yankees
Profile: Injury-prone righty has had some good seasons in a setup role. Loaisiga’s health has year in, and year out been his bugaboo. 2021 was the only season in which he has exceeded 50 innings. It was a flexor strain that ended the Nicaragua native’s season in August. The year before, a similar injury required Tommy John Surgery in April. Damaged goods until proven otherwise.
SIGNED- Arizona Diamondbacks, MiLB Deal, 1/14
146. Alexis Diaz- RP (R)
Age: 29
Career bWAR: 4.7
2025 bWAR: -0.7
2025 Team: Cincinnati Reds + Los Angeles Dodgers + Atlanta Braves
Profile: The little brother of the 2025 classes #1 reliever free agent, Edwin, it wasn’t that long ago that Alexis Diaz was one of the top up-and-coming closers in the game, particularly after his All-Star 2023 campaign that saw him save 37 games. He struggled in 2024 and then the wheels completely fell off in 2025 to the point that he was released by both the Reds and the Dodgers, ending his season in Atlanta with a collective ERA of 8.15 over 17.2 innings. Didn’t miss many bats and when he did, it was because he was missing the strike zone entirely and walking them. Someone will try to fix him given his age and past success but probably shouldn’t be guaranteed anything.
SIGNED- Texas Rangers, $TBD, 12/12
147. Lewin Diaz- 1B
Age: 29
Career bWAR: 0.1
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: Samsung Lions
Profile: Diaz hit 50 homers in Korea with 158 RBI. He’s been out of MLB since 2022 and it seems likely he stays international but that sort of offensive output at the very least merits some attention.
RE-SIGNED- Samsung Lions (KBO), $1.5 million, 11/25
148. Chris Flexen- SP (R)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 3.3
2025 bWAR: 0.4
2025 Team: Chicago Cubs
Profile: The numbers were pretty but the Cubs still parted ways with Flexen, who was used mostly as a long reliever once in the majors, after some of their injured players began returning and no one picked him up. That should tell you plenty. Lack of strikeouts (24 over 43.2 IP) and a high FIP (5.04 to a 3.09 ERA) are both bad omens.
SIGNED- Doosan Bears (KBO), $1 million, 12/18
149. Luis Garcia- RP (R)
Age: 39
Career bWAR: 3.2
2025 bWAR: 0.8
2025 Team: Los Angeles Dodgers + Pittsburgh Pirates + Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Profile: Just when it looked like his career was over, the old man put together a perfectly solid year with three different teams, ending his season with the Angels and a 3.42 ERA over 55.1 innings with 48 K/26 BB and a pair of saves. A 3.28 FIP even indicates he may have gotten a little unlucky. Just as likely to repeat as he is to finally implode for good.
SIGNED- New York Mets, $1.75 million/1 year, 1/20
150. Gary Sanchez- C
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 14.3
2025 bWAR: -0.5
2025 Team: Baltimore Orioles
Profile: Still has power in his bat when healthy but unfortunately you have to be on the field to use it. He missed all but 29 games in 2025. Ability to play catcher will keep him around, though his defense took a hit last year after steadily improving it the last few seasons.
SIGNED- Milwaukee Brewers, $2.25 million/1 year, 2/13
151. Jesse Winker- OF
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 6.4
2025 bWAR: 0.0
2025 Team: New York Mets
Profile: Bad fielder, injury prone to the point of missing all but 26 games in 2025, can’t really hit lefties. He’ll get opportunities regardless because for all his many warts, he knows how to get on-base (cue Moneyball meme).
152. Paul Dejong- UT
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 13.2
2025 bWAR: -0.1
2025 Team: Washington Nationals
Profile: No longer the 30 HR threat he was in his St Louis days, Dejong is still a serviceable utilityman due to his RH power and defense. Though he strikes out way too much to be depended on for anything more meaningful.
SIGNED- New York Yankees, MiLB deal, 1/4
153. Christopher Morel- OF
Age: 26
Career bWAR: 1.6
2025 bWAR: -0.3
2025 Team: Tampa Bay Rays
Profile: Has some power in the bat but doesn’t really make enough contact to maximize it. Strikes out a ton, doesn’t really walk much and is a bad fielder. There’s talent and he’s still relatively young, but this is very much a work in progress.
SIGNED- Miami Marlins, $TBD/1 year, 12/12
154. Andy Ibanez- UT
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 5.5
2025 bWAR: 0.6
2025 Team: Detroit Tigers
Profile: Veteran RH bat, Ibanez can play 3B, 2B, and 1B while being a smaller sign platoon partner. Can help in a bench role but anything more is asking for trouble.
SIGNED- Los Angeles Dodgers, $1.2 million/1 year, 1/9
155. Jake Fraley- OF
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 2.6
2025 bWAR: 0.3
2025 Team: Cincinnati Reds + Atlanta Braves
Profile: Viking-looking outfielder can do a little bit of everything other than hit lefties. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have any one particular skill that stands out. Profiles best as a fourth outfielder at this point.
SIGNED- Tampa Bay Rays, $3 million/1 year, 11/25
156. Michael Toglia- 1B
Age: 27
Career bWAR: -1.0
2025 bWAR: -1.7
2025 Team: Colorado Rockies
Profile: Showed some potential in 2024 with 25 home runs but couldn’t make enough contact and regressed tremendously with both his bat and glove despite still getting to play half the season at Coors Field. Young enough to right the ship but there’s a lot of work to be done.
SIGNED- Cincinnati Reds, MiLB deal, 1/11
157. Jose Urquidy- SP (R)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 4.4
2025 bWAR: -0.1
2025 Team: Detroit Tigers
Profile: Was a pretty useful pitcher for the Astros at the beginning of the decade but arm injuries have cost him virtually all of the three seasons. Made it back to the majors in 2025 for two games out of the pen. Risky but there’s a history of success if he can show that his body is right again.
SIGNED- Pittsburgh Pirates, $1.5 million/1 year, 2/5
158. Nestor Cortes- SP (L)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 8.8
2025 bWAR: -0.2
2025 Team: Milwaukee Brewers + San Diego Padres
Profile: Will miss most if not all of the 2026 season following elbow surgery. Don’t worry though, he’s left-handed which means he’ll be back as soon as he can get the ball over the plate again. Good odds to get some kind of a two-year deal where he rehabs the first year.
159. Michael Conforto- OF
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 16.9
2025 bWAR: -0.7
2025 Team: Los Angeles Dodgers
Profile: Signed a lucrative deal with LA last year and was nothing short of a massive disappointment as he slashed .199/.305/.333 with 12 homers over 486 PA. Still draws a fair share of walks but he’s not getting anything close to the $17 million he got in 2025.
SIGNED- Chicago Cubs, MiLB Deal, 2/21
160. Jorge Mateo- UT
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 4.8
2025 bWAR: -0.7
2025 Team: Baltimore Orioles
Profile: Speed demon is never going to hit for much average or draw many walks, but Mateo does have a little pop in the bat and is fairly capable defensively. Nasty elbow injury cost him most of 2025, but he’d already been on a downward trajectory for a couple of years.
SIGNED- Atlanta Braves, $1 million/1 year, 1/19
161. Lou Trivino- RP (R)
Age: 34
Career bWAR: 2.3
2025 bWAR: 0.1
2025 Team: Los Angeles Dodgers + Philadelphia Phillies + San Francisco Giants
Profile: Trivino took a step in the right direction after missing both 2023 and 2024 entirely. Did the majority of his work with the Dodgers. When all was said and done, the Slippery Rock alum posted a 3.97 ERA (4.73 FIP) with 37 K/18 BB over 47.1 IP. Nothing spectacular but after two lost seasons, it’s hard to ask for much more than that.
RE-SIGNED- Philadelphia Phillies, MiLB deal, 2/5
162. Kona Takahashi- SP (R)
Age: 29
Career bWAR: N/A
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: Seibu Lions
Profile: Tough guy to get a read on. Doesn’t miss many bats. Primarily uses a fastball/splitter/slurve combo with an occasional cutter mixed in. Fastball isn’t great and is mostly used to set up his breaking stuff. Profiles as a back-of-the-rotation/swingman type.
RETURNING TO JAPAN
163. Paul Sewald- RP (R)
Age: 36
Career bWAR: 3.0
2025 bWAR: -0.1
2025 Team: Cleveland Guardians + Detroit Tigers
Profile: Former Diamondbacks and Mariners closer struggled with his health in 2025 and was pretty mediocre when on the mound. Worth a look. If there’s still something there, Sewald is a solid setup man with closer experience. Given his injuries over the past two seasons there’s just as good a chance age has caught up to him.
SIGNED- Arizona Diamondbacks, $1.5 million/1 year, 2/14
164. John King- RP (L)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 1.1
2025 bWAR: -0.3
2025 Team: St. Louis Cardinals
Profile: Pitch-to-contact lefty always had a much better ERA than his FIP and his luck finally caught up to him in 2025. He walked more batters, gave up more hits, and ultimately just got hit a lot harder, finishing the season with a 4.66 ERA (5.00 FIP) and 1.684 WHIP over 48.1 IP with just 28 K/14 BB. A change of scenery will likely do him some good, as would figuring out how to miss a few more bats.
SIGNED- Miami Marlins, $1.5 million/1 year, 2/11
165. Brent Suter- RP (L)
Age: 36
Career bWAR: 7.4
2025 bWAR: 0.3
2025 Team: Cincinnati Reds
Profile: Harvard educated lefty can pitch in a lot of roles but is also somewhat prone to the longball and doesn’t miss many bats at this stage of his career, limiting his value.
SIGNED- Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, $1.25 million/1 year, 2/5
166. Gregory Santos- RP (R)
Age: 26
Career bWAR: -0.3
2025 bWAR: 0.1
2025 Team: Seattle Mariners
Profile: Missed most of 2025 with a knee injury. Missed most of 2024 with a lat strain. His only fully healthy season was 2023 in which he was admittedly excellent. Some potential still here particularly given his age, but the last two years have really muddied up his luster.
SIGNED- San Francisco Giants, MiLB deal, 12/16
167. Ian Hamilton- RP (R)
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 2.1
2025 bWAR: 0.2
2025 Team: New York Yankees
Profile: Mr. Clean-looking righty had a pretty nice run for the Yankees, particularly in his breakout 2023. There are a lot of pitchers with his skillset and a lot of competition among little relievers such as himself.
SIGNED- Atlanta Braves, $TBD/1 year, 12/19
168. Justin Turner- 1B/3B
Age: 41
Career bWAR: 38.7
2025 bWAR: -0.1
2025 Team: Chicago Cubs
Profile: Veteran leader is the sort of bench option who adds value with his intangibles even if his physical capabilities aren’t what they once were. Very high baseball IQ and can still hit lefties just fine.
169. Tyler Alexander- RP (L)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 3.3
2025 bWAR: -0.5
2025 Team: Chicago White Sox + Milwaukee Brewers
Profile: Veteran lefty sucked in Milwaukee but actually did fairly well with the White Sox (61.1 IP, 4.26 ERA. 52 K/18 BB, 3.64 FIP). Worse options out there. Kind of middle of the road.
SIGNED- Texas Rangers, $1.125 million/1 year, 12/12
170. Albert Suarez- SP (R)
Age: 36
Career bWAR: 3.2
2025 bWAR: 0.5
2025 Team: Baltimore Orioles
Profile: Veteran swingman and brother of fellow free agent Robert Suarez missed most of the season with shoulder inflammation. Came back in September. Pitched pretty well in an admittedly short sample size which will buy him another trip to Spring Training at the very least. Ceiling probably maxes out as a #5 starter at this point.
RE-SIGNED- Baltimore Orioles, MiLB deal, 12/18
171. Thairo Estrada- 2B
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 4.4
2025 bWAR: -0.4
2025 Team: Colorado Rockies
Profile: Estrada blew an opportunity to turn his career around with Colorado as his bat remained mediocre in the midst of an injury plagued season that saw him miss considerable time with a broken wrist, sprained thumb, and strained hamstring. Will be looking for a minor league deal.
SIGNED- Baltimore Orioles, MiLB Deal, 2/22
172. Jarred Kelenic- OF
Age: 26
Career bWAR: 0.1
2025 bWAR: -0.6
2025 Team: Atlanta Braves
Profile: A can’t-miss prospect that missed. At this point, his only real strength is his relatively young age, something he has zero control over and will be gone soon enough. Just can’t hit MLB pitching at this point and hasn’t hit Triple-A pitching much better.
SIGNED- Chicago White Sox, MiLB Deal, 12/31
173. Alex Verdugo- OF
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 11.6
2025 bWAR: -0.3
2025 Team: Atlanta Braves
Profile: Man, what the hell happened? Once a promising talent with batting champion potential. Now, his only plus is his defense. Still young enough and talented enough to right the ship, particularly given his past success. Unfortunately, he’s developed something of a reputation for having a bad attitude. On top of the unsightly regression, teams aren’t going to be lining up for him.
174. Christian Vazquez- C
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 6.8
2025 bWAR: 0.5
2025 Team: Minnesota Twins
Profile: Aging two-time World Champion might be able to provide some mentorship as a backup but his days of being a somewhat useful hitter are long gone.
175. Jose Siri- OF
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 4.9
2025 bWAR: -0.5
2025 Team: New York Mets
Profile: Power, speed and defense without a hint of bat-to-ball. Lots of injuries in 2025, only got into 16 games and was actively bad when he did play. Will hope for a bench opportunity somewhere.

176. Jose Herrera- C
Age: 29
Career bWAR: -0.7
2025 bWAR: 0.0
2025 Team: Arizona Diamondbacks
Profile: Career backup got the most playing time of his career in 2025 and while his bat left something to be desired, he did draw a fair number of walks (23 in 204 PA) and actually played pretty good defense.
SIGNED- Texas Rangers, MiLB Deal, 12/15
177. Jon Berti- UT
Age: 36
Career bWAR: 8.5
2025 bWAR: 0.2
2025 Team: Chicago Cubs
Profile: Speedy, late-blooming utilityman. Didn’t hit much in 2025 but did steal 11 bases. The speed and positional versatility still give him some value.
178. Kyle Hart- SP (L)
Age: 33
Career bWAR: -1.3
2025 bWAR: -0.5
2025 Team: San Diego Padres
Profile: Returned to the US after an excellent run in Korea but things didn’t go well. Hart had his good outings but the bad ones were very bad and he ended up in the minors for long stretches. Left-handedness and KBO success could land him another shot but his glorious return to majors was far more a whimper than a bang.

Career bWAR: 1.0
2025 bWAR: -0.4
2025 Team: Chicago Cubs
Profile: After an excellent 2024, Morgan dealt with an inflamed ulnar nerve for most of the season. Will have to prove he’s healthy and can be effective again, likely on an MiLB deal.

Age: 30
Career bWAR: 0.6
2025 bWAR: 0.2
2025 Team: Arizona Diamondbacks + New York Mets + Seattle Mariners + Baltimore Orioles
Profile: Big strong lefty pitched for four teams in 2025 and honestly, it was a pretty decent showing all things considered- 32 IP, 3.94 ERA, 30 K/14 BB. The FIP indicates some good luck (4.57), and the WHIP says he was very hittable (1.688). On the higher end of the “random lefty with pulse” genre.

181. Ryan Brasier- RP (R)
Age: 38
Career bWAR: 2.8
2025 bWAR: -0.2
2025 Team: Chicago Cubs
Profile: Veteran righty can still throw it but dealt with injuries and bad luck, limiting him to just 26 IP and a 4.50 ERA (3.17 FIP) in 2025. Doesn’t walk many, doesn’t strike many out. Still can play a role as a middle reliever if healthy, no guarantee at his age.

182. Joe Ross- RP (R)
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 5.5
2025 bWAR: 0.0
2025 Team: Philadelphia Phillies
Profile: After a strong 2024 comeback season, Ross got a deal with the Phillies and was very mediocre as a swingman. Could get another shot given his past success and pedigree but will likely need to prove himself again on a minor league deal.

2025 bWAR: 0.3
2025 Team: San Francisco Giants
Profile: Yadier Molina’s longtime backup hasn’t been able to step out of his shadow. He made the most of his backup role with the Giants in 2025, however, and will likely look for a similar job in 2026.

Career bWAR: 14.0
2025 bWAR: -0.8
2025 Team: Arizona Diamondbacks + Kansas City Royals

185. Jose Iglesias- UT
Age: 36
Career bWAR: 13.8
2025 bWAR: -0.7
2025 Team: San Diego Padres
Profile: Got a surprising amount of playing time (343 PA, 112 games) for the Padres. Didn’t do much with it as both his bat and glove regressed after he revived his career with the Mets in 2024.
186. Cam Booser- RP (L)
Age: 34
Career bWAR: 0.3
2025 bWAR: -0.5
2025 Team: Chicago White Sox
Profile: Hard-throwing lefty carpenter was one of the feel-good stories of 2024, overcoming years of adversity to not only make it to the majors but put together a solid season out of the pen. Booser was traded to the White Sox during the offseason and was very bad, as is the case for many White Sox relievers. His entire career is a testament to the fact that lefties with heat tend to get a lot of opportunities. No reason to think there won’t be another one so long as he wants it.

Career bWAR: 4.1
2025 bWAR: -0.7
2025 Team: Colorado Rockies
Profile: The crown jewel of the Nolan Arenado trade was finally let go after five years of mostly ineffective mediocrity. Will try to get an opportunity to prove he was better than Coors Field made him look. Given his left-handedness and a surprisingly serviceable 2024, he’ll probably get one.

189. Max Kranick- RP (R)
Age: 28
Career bWAR: 0.4
2025 bWAR: 0.3
2025 Team: New York Mets
Profile: Kranick did a nice job for the Mets in limited work out of the bullpen. Unfortunately, got hurt in July and missed the rest of the season. It was initially reported that he would need a second Tommy John surgery but instead only needed a flexor tendon surgery. Not great regardless, but it does give him a chance at pitching in 2026.

2025 bWAR: 0.2
2025 Team: Arizona Diamondbacks

2025 bWAR: 0.0
2025 Team: Pittsburgh Pirates + Toronto Blue Jays
Profile: Had a perfectly mediocre 35 MLB innings in 2025 and given the same opportunity can probably repeat that in 2026.
SIGNED- Chicago White Sox, MiLB deal, 1/18
194. Ryne Stanek- RP (R)
Age: 34
Career bWAR: 2.8
2025 bWAR: -1.0
2025 Team: New York Mets
Profile: Big righty with a big fastball got hammered in 2025 due to a mix of poor control and somewhat bad luck. No guarantee he bounces back but there’s always a chance with an arm like his.
SIGNED- St. Louis Cardinals, $3.5 million/1 year + $6.5 million club option, 1/10
195. Triston McKenzie- SP (R)
Age: 28
Career bWAR: -0.2
2025 bWAR: 4.9
2025 Team: Cleveland Guardians
Profile: Talented arm but his slight frame has made him a magnet for injuries. Was unceremoniously released in late September. We’ll see if a change of scenery can right the ship.
SIGNED- San Diego Padres, MiLB deal, 12/18
196. Jason Foley- RP (R)
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 3.4
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: Detroit Tigers
Profile: Hard-throwing righty got some run as Tigers closer in 2024, but didn’t even make the team out of Spring Training in 2025 and was then shut down for the season in May due to shoulder surgery. If he’s fixed, there is some leverage potential here, but shoulder injuries aren’t always a simple recovery.
SIGNED- San Francisco Giants, $2 million/1 year, 12/16
197. Hunter Strickland- RP (R)
Age: 37
Career bWAR: 6.4
2025 bWAR: 0.6
2025 Team: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Profile: Brought in on the later side of things (May 6) and did a pretty good job eating innings (22 IP, 3.27 ERA,1.227 WHIP, 14 K/10 BB) before being shut down in July with shoulder soreness and never returning. If he’s healthy, can probably provide value in a similar role for a pitching-starved team.

198. Charlie Morton- SP (R)
Age: 42
Career bWAR: 16.2
2025 bWAR: -0.8
2025 Team: Baltimore Orioles + Detroit Tigers + Atlanta Braves
Profile: Started the season poorly, picked it up enough to get traded at the deadline, promptly imploded and got DFA’d before the end of the season. Started 26 games and stayed relatively healthy. Should probably retire.
199. Cal Quantrill- SP (R)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 7.6
2025 bWAR: -0.6
2025 Team: Miami Marlins + Atlanta Braves
Profile: Had a few good seasons but seems to be on his way out. Got an opportunity with the Marlins and promptly completely blew it. Just way too hittable to be anything other than depth at this point.

200. Matt Manning- SP (R)
Age: 28
Career bWAR: 1.8
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: N/A
Profile: Detroit finally cuts ties with their 2016 first round pick (9th overall) after continued regression and injury. The Phillies took him in but he never made it back to the majors and pitched poorly in the minors. Reputation and pedigree will give him an opportunity but will not be handed anything until he proves he’s healthy.

Age: 32
Career bWAR: 4.7
2025 bWAR: -1.7
2025 Team: San Francisco Giants + Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Profile: After solid 2023 and 2024 seasons built around his ability to work a walk and hit the occasional homer, Wade completely imploded in 2025. Will look for an MiLB deal somewhere as he attempts to regain his value.
SIGNED- Chicago White Sox, MiLB Deal, 1/24
203. Kevin Newman- UT
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 4.2
2025 bWAR: -0.9
2025 Team: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Profile: Newman struggled badly in 2025 posting a miserable .481 OPS and atrocious 1 to 23 BB/K ratio over 116 PA. Even his normally steady defense was bad.
SIGNED- Kansas City Royals, MiLB deal, 12/12
204. Dylan Carlson- OF
Age: 27
Career bWAR: 3.7
2025 bWAR: -0.7
2025 Team: Baltimore Orioles
Profile: Former elite outfield prospect has fallen to mere 40-man depth. The switch-hitting Carlson showed a little bit of power with the bat this season but he’ll have to do a lot more to earn another chance at meaningful playing time again. Young enough to turn it around but running out of chances.
SIGNED- Chicago Cubs, MiLB Deal, 1/26
205. Abraham Toro- 3B/1B
Age: 29
Career bWAR: 1.1
2025 bWAR: -0.3
2025 Team: Boston Red Sox
Profile: Canadian switch-hitting cornerman did a nice enough job filling in for an injured Triston Casas. More of a “break glass in case of emergency” depth option but he’ll hold his own when given the opportunity.
SIGNED- Kansas City Royals, MiLB deal, 12/18
206. Jose Miranda- 1B/3B
Age: 27
Career bWAR: 2.0
2025 bWAR: -0.3
2025 Team: Minnesota Twins
Profile: The switch-hitting cousin of Lin-Manuel Miranda (of “Hamilton” fame!) has had some big-league success, particularly in 2022 and 2024 but 2025 was a dud of such poor quality both in the majors and the minors that it resulted in him being let go at the end of the season. He’ll get picked up by another given his past success and age but he’s going to have to earn another shot at the big-league level.
SIGNED- San Diego Padres, MiLB deal, 12/18
207. Will Brennan- OF
Age: 28
Career bWAR: 0.5
2025 bWAR: -0.2
2025 Team: Cleveland Guardians
Profile: Rough season that included season-ending UCL reconstruction surgery and also groin surgery a few months later. Only got into six MLB games, none of which went especially well. Profiles best as a bench outfielder even when healthy.
SIGNED- San Francisco Giants, $800K/1 year (split-contract), 2/15
208. Alexander Canario- OF
Age: 26
Career bWAR: 0.7
2025 bWAR: 0.5
2025 Team: Pittsburgh Pirates
Profile: Young outfielder showed very solid defense playing all three outfield spots and hit the occasional home run. Solid depth option, probably not a good sign if he’s getting regular at-bats.

209. Valente Bellozo- SP (R)
Age: 26
Career bWAR: 1.8
2025 bWAR: 0.3
2025 Team: Miami Marlins
Profile: Soft-tossing righty was a useful swingman for the Marlin which is probably his ceiling.

Age: 34
Career bWAR: 2.1
2025 bWAR: 0.4
2025 Team: New York Mets + Toronto Blue Jays + Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim + Los Angeles Dodgers + Minnesota Twins
Profile: Veteran swingman eats innings and can spot start when needed although the results for both are by and large mediocre (4.58 ERA, 55 IP, 34 K/23 BB). That he pitched with five different teams in 2025 is telling.
SIGNED- Rakuten Eagles (NPB), Terms unknown, 1/14
211. Joel Payamps- RP (R)
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 4.1
2025 bWAR: -0.6

212. Nabil Crismatt- RP (R)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 0.6
2025 bWAR: 0.2
2025 Team: Arizona Diamondbacks
Profile: Colombian righty did surprisingly well functioning mostly as a starter for the Diamondbacks in an admittedly small cup of coffee: 3-0 W/L, 3.71 ERA (4.84 FIP), 25 K/9 BB, 1.441 WHIP. Definitely some luck involved but Crismatt could make for a nice swingman.

213. Erik Haase- C/OF
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 3.0
2025 bWAR: 0.2

214. Dominic Fletcher- OF
Age: 28
Career bWAR: 0.6
2025 bWAR: 0.3

216. Colin Holderman- RP (R)
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 0.9
2025 bWAR: -0.8
2025 Team: Pittsburgh Pirates
Profile: After doing a pretty good job out of the pen in 2023 and 2024, Holderman got obliterated to the tune of a 7.01 ERA and 1.948 WHIP over 25.1 IP with 16 BB/18 K. Another team will try to fix him but until he finds a way to throw strikes and miss bats again, he’s going to have to get used to the Triple-A lifestyle again.
SIGNED- Cleveland Guardians, $1.5 million/1 year, 12/11
217. Cionel Perez- RP (L)
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 0.8
2025 bWAR: -0.6
2025 Team: Baltimore Orioles
Profile: Hasn’t been especially good since 2022 but he’ll be able to pitch indefinitely because he was very good that year and is also a lefty.
SIGNED- Washington Nationals, MiLB deal, 2/14
218. Jose Leclerc- RP (R)
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 7.2
2025 bWAR: 0.0
2025 Team: A’s formerly of Oakland
Profile: Signed a surprising $10 million deal with the A’s last year but went down with a lat injury in late April that required surgery and never returned. Poor return on investment for a team that rarely spends anything.
219. Genesis Cabrera- RP (L)
Age: 29
Career bWAR: -1.1
2025 bWAR: -0.8
2025 Team: New York Mets + Chicago Cubs + Pittsburgh Pirates + Minnesota Twins
Profile: Genesis is such a badass name. Shoutout to this boy’s parents. Anyways, he had a terrible 2025 season spent with four different teams after a solid 2023 and an even better 2024. In other words, beyond his sick punk rock name just your average run-of-the-mill left-handed middle reliever.
SIGNED- Philadelphia Phillies, MiLB Deal, 12/30
220. Josh Winckowski- RP (R)
Age: 27
Career bWAR: 1.8
2025 bWAR: -0.1
2025 Team: Boston Red Sox
Profile: Winckowski was pretty good in 2023 but has been on a downward spiral ever since. Spent most of 2025 injured and was nontendered after the season. Has hopefully realized he can’t hack it as a starter. There are a lot of pitchers like him that never get an opportunity.
SIGNED- Toronto Blue Jays, MiLB Deal/2 years, 12/31
221. Austin Slater- OF
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 5.0
2025 bWAR: -0.1
2025 Team: New York Yankees + Chicago White Sox
Profile: Useful bench outfielder because of his glove and right-handedness. Doesn’t hit enough to justify regular playing time anymore.
SIGNED- Detroit Tigers, MiLB deal, 2/10
222. Akil Baddoo- OF
Age: 27
Career bWAR: 2.8
2025 bWAR: 0.2
2025 Team: Detroit Tigers
Profile: Baddoo has regressed badly since his surprising rookie season back in 2021. Never figured out how to hit lefties and every single other skill he had got worse. Fell so far down that he was limited to just seven MLB games in 2025. It looks bad, but it’s worth noting that Baddoo is still relatively young, a solid defender, and hit well in Triple-A. This makes him a nice depth option with some potential upside, just not someone that should be guaranteed an MLB role by any stretch of the imagination.
SIGNED- Milwaukee Brewers, TBD, 12/11
223. MJ Melendez- OF
Age: 27
Career bWAR: -1.4
2025 bWAR: -0.6
2025 Team: Kansas City Royals
Profile: Former catcher lost a lot of his glimmer when he stopped catching. Lost even more when he stopped hitting. Still young but if he’s just an outfielder with a little power and minimal bat-to-ball, he has little value. Good overseas candidate.
SIGNED- New York Mets, Split contract/1 year ($1.5 million at MLB level), 2/7
224. Sam Huff- C
Age: 28
Career bWAR: 0.9
2025 bWAR: -0.2
2025 Team: San Francisco Giants
Profile: Huff has yet to surpass the 0.5 bWAR he posted in the first ten games of his career back in 2020. There’s some home run power here but not much else. Catchers do tend to develop a bit slower than other positions so maybe he still has another gear to be unlocked.
SIGNED- Baltimore Orioles, MiLB deal, 1/18
225. Paul Blackburn- SP (R)
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 2.5
2025 bWAR: -0.5
2025 Team: New York Yankees + New York Mets
Profile: The 2022 All-Star pitched a little with both New York teams in 2025. Didn’t go well with either but Blackburn’s relatively low-FIP compared to his ERA (4.39 to 6.23 over 39 innings) indicates some bad luck and that he’s still a serviceable innings eater in the right situation. If he can stay healthy, of course. That’s a lot that has to go right for a pretty middling best-case scenario.
RE-SIGNED- New York Yankees, $2 million/1 year, 12/20
226. Anthony DeSclafani- SP (R)
Age: 36
Career bWAR: 10.0
2025 bWAR: -0.1
2025 Team: Arizona Diamondbacks
Profile: Returned from TJS that cost him the entire 2023 season. Didn’t go very well or very long. Maybe a normal offseason will set things right but given his age, DeSclafani may be at the end of the line.
227. Colin Poche- RP (L)
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 1.4
2025 bWAR: -0.7
2025 Team: New York Mets + Washington Nationals
Profile: Lefty. Funky windup. Sucked in 2025 but generally pretty good before that. A minor league deal with invitation to Spring Training seems likely.
SIGNED- Toros de Tijuana (Mexican League), Terms TBD, 1/19
228. Rafael Montero- RP (R)
Age: 35
Career bWAR: -0.6
2025 bWAR: -0.1
2025 Team: Houston Astros + Atlanta Braves + Detroit Tigers
Profile: Served as a middle reliever over 60.1 innings and was perfectly mediocre overall. Walked too many but was actually pretty good in his 22 innings with the Tigers where he posted a 2.86 ERA. Just don’t look up his (admittedly longer and much worse) stint with Atlanta. Serviceable but there are younger, cheaper, better arms with options on most Triple-A squads.
SIGNED- New York Yankees, MiLB deal, 2/12
229. Cavan Biggio- UT
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 6.9

230. Chas McCormick- OF
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 5.8
2025 bWAR: -1.0
2025 Team: Houston Astros
Profile: Has fallen off badly since his excellent 2023 in all aspects of the game. Some of this is due to injury but he struggled all the same when on the field. Tough to say how much he’s got left in the tank, if anything.
SIGNED- Chicago Cubs, MiLB Deal, 1/24
231. Orlando Arcia- UT
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 3.7
2025 bWAR: -1.2
2025 Team: Atlanta Braves + Colorado Rockies
Profile: After a nice run for a couple of years, Arcia fell flat on his face and was unceremoniously released by the Braves in favor of Nick Allen which really should tell you how much he’s fallen since his 2023 All-Star appearance. Not even the friendly confines of Coors Field could fix his hitting woes.
SIGNED- Minnesota Twins, MiLB deal, 1/3
232. Santiago Espinal- UT
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 3.6
2025 bWAR: -1.4
2025 Team: Cincinnati Reds
Profile: Espinal has had a few solid seasons, even making the All-Star team in 2022 with the Blue Jays. 2025 was not one of them. His already marginal power completely vanished rendering him a singles hitter with a mediocre glove. The only things that may be appealing about him is that he plays every position except pitcher, catcher, and centerfield, as well as the increasingly unlikely hope that he can somehow rediscover his old form.
SIGNED- Los Angeles Dodgers, MiLB deal, 2/16
233. Matt Mervis- 1B
Age: 28
Career bWAR: -1.7
2025 bWAR: -1.0
2025 Team: Miami Marlins
Profile: Mervis has been around long enough now to call him a bust. Has a little bit of power in the bat but that’s pretty much the only thing he does well.
SIGNED- Washington Nationals, MiLB Deal, 12/24
234. Dane Dunning- SP (R)
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 3.7
2025 bWAR: -0.4
2025 Team: Texas Rangers + Atlanta Braves
Profile: Pretty good in 2023, regressed in 2024, then imploded in 2025. Never had overwhelming stuff to begin with. Likely no better than an innings eater at the back of the rotation or a swingman even if he can find some of his old form.
SIGNED- Seattle Mariners, MiLB Deal, 1/24
235. Jeimer Candelario- 1B/3B
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 9.4
2025 bWAR: -0.9
2025 Team: Cincinnati Reds
Profile: Switch-hitting cornerman completely and utterly imploded resulting in the Reds ducking out of his three-year contract a year early. He’ll get another shot off of reputation but will have to earn his way back to the majors.
SIGNED- Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, MiLB deal, 2/3
236. Donovan Solano- UT
Age: 38
Career bWAR: 7.6
2025 bWAR: -0.1
2025 Team: Seattle Mariners + Texas Rangers
Profile: Still hits just enough and has just enough versatility that if you squint really hard, he can be a serviceable veteran last man on the bench for a noncontender.
237. Austin Barnes- C
Age: 36
Career bWAR: 4.4
2025 bWAR: -0.3
2025 Team: Los Angeles Dodgers
Profile: Longtime Dodgers backup was finally let go after 11 seasons in LA. Perhaps he takes his experience elsewhere as he’s still a viable backup, or perhaps he rides off into the sunset with his World Series rings and calls it a nice little underrated career.
SIGNED- New York Mets, MiLB deal, 1/29
238. Sam Hilliard- OF
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 2.7
2025 bWAR: -0.2
2025 Team: Colorado Rockies
Profile: Small sample size of just 61 PA in 2025. Has had some success in the past, particularly in the power department but tough to imagine him thriving outside of the thin air at Coors Field. Solid Quad-A guy, nothing more.
SIGNED- KT Wiz (KBO), Terms Unknown, 11/26
239. Gio Urshela- UT
Age: 34
Career bWAR: 8.6
2025 bWAR: -1.0
2025 Team: A’s formerly of Oakland
Profile: Power all but vanished and Urshela’s previously stellar defense also took a hit in 2025. Might have some value as depth but age is not on his side if you’re expecting a rebound.
SIGNED- Minnesota Twins, MiLB deal, 2/9
240. Emmanuel Rivera- 3B/1B
Age: 29
Career bWAR: 1.3
2025 bWAR: -0.1
2025 Team: Baltimore Orioles
Profile: Quad-A type. Doesn’t hit well enough as a corner infielder to deserve regular playing time. There are worse depth options but he’s definitely someone you hope stays at Triple-A.
241. Sean Hjelle- RP (R)
Age: 29
Career bWAR: -0.4
2025 bWAR: -0.8
2025 Team: San Francisco Giants

Age: 30
Career bWAR: 0.7
2025 bWAR: -0.2
2025 Team: Atlanta Braves + Baltimore Orioles + Minnesota Twins
Profile: The worst name for a relief pitcher to have since Grant Balfour, Blewett got the most work of his career with 44.1 innings. Unfortunately, that’s where the good news ends as he blew it just a bit too often to earn his keep resulting in him pitching for three teams in 2025.

Age: 30
Career bWAR: 0.9
2025 bWAR: -1.1
2025 Team: Minnesota Twins + Boston Red Sox + St. Louis Cardinals
Profile: Alcala has a big fastball, but command is immensely inconsistent. He’s been good in the past. He’s sucked just as bad as he did in 2025 too. Relievers sure are a fickle bunch.

247. Bryce Wilson- RP (R)
Age: 28
Career bWAR: 0.3
2025 bWAR: -0.7
2025 Team: Chicago White Sox
Profile: Strike-throwing righty had a rough go of it in Chicago. After a pretty good 2023, he’s steadily gotten worse each season. Still young enough to improve but has seemingly entered freefall. Can he turn it around?

248. Jorge Lopez- RP (R)
Age: 33
Career bWAR:
2025 bWAR:
2025 Team: Washington Nationals
Profile: Results were dreadful but a 3.50 FIP compared to his 6.57 ERA indicates Lopez got pretty unlucky in his 24.2 innings in 2025. Might not mean anything but given his past success there’s probably and MiLB opportunity out there if he wants it.
249. Buddy Kennedy- UT
Age: 27
Career bWAR: -0.5
2025 bWAR: -0.3
2025 Team: Philadelphia Phillies + Los Angeles Dodgers + Toronto Blue Jays
Profile: The 2002 film “Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch” stars Buddy the Dog, a golden retriever that plays baseball for the Anaheim Angels. I am not confident that Buddy the Dog would have been any worse than Kennedy was in 2025 despite not having opposable thumbs or the capacity to stand on his hindlegs for extended periods of time.

250. Chad Green- RP (R)
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 7.9
2025 bWAR: -0.5
2025 Team: Toronto Blue Jays
Profile: Far too hittable and the 6.73 FIP says Green’s 5.56 ERA probably should have been a lot worse. Strikeout rate continued to freefall for the second straight year. It’s possible that he has an injury he hasn’t treated but more likely that he’s just fallen off a cliff.
251. Chris Taylor- UT
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 16.3
2025 bWAR: -0.6

Career bWAR: 3.7
2025 bWAR: -0.8

253. Jordan Romano- RP (R)
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 6.0
2025 bWAR: -1.7
2025 Team: Philadelphia Phillies
Profile: Former Jays closer and two-time All-Star got a shot for the Phillies and blew it with one of the worst seasons in all the majors. Tough to tell where he goes from here. The pedigree says he’ll get another shot, the age and performance over the last two seasons says that any deal that Romano signs is probably not going guarantee him a lot.

Age: 37
Career bWAR: 14.6
2025 bWAR: -1.0
2025 Team: Kansas City Royals
Profile: Rough go of it in Kansas City for Canha. Didn’t draw walks, power completely dissipated, and he barely hit his weight. If the end hasn’t already come for his underrated career, it’s certainly in sight.

Age: 30
Career bWAR: 0.1
2025 bWAR: -0.7
2025 Team: Chicago White Sox
Profile: Emergency outfielder. Can do a little bit of everything, none of it particularly well.
SIGNED- Detroit Tigers, MiLB Deal, 1/23
256. Eloy Jimenez- OF
Age: 29
Career bWAR: 5.3
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: Tampa Bay Rays + Toronto Blue Jays
Profile: His rookie 2019 campaign where he hit 31 homers and his 2020 Silver Slugger feel like several lifetimes ago at this point. Jimenez didn’t even make it to the majors in 2025. Should be a candidate to play overseas if not now then very soon.
RE-SIGNED- Toronto Blue Jays, MiLB deal, 1/11
257. Kyle Wright- SP (R)
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 2.5
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: Kansas City Royals
Profile: Hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2023. Was outstanding in 2022, winning an MLB best 21 games and posting a solid 3.19 ERA over 180.1 innings with 174 K/53 BB. Hasn’t come anywhere close since in part due to a busted shoulder that led to him missing 2024 entirely. Pitched a little in 2025 in Triple-A but ended up on the IL with a balky oblique. Maybe his two years rehabbing will set him right. He’ll surely get the opportunity to show it.
SIGNED- Texas Rangers, MiLB deal, 2/10
258. Michael Grove- SP (R)
Age: 29
Career bWAR: -2.0
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: Los Angeles Dodgers
Profile: Former Dodgers second round draft pick has been in the majors since 2022 and has never lived up to the hype. He underwent shoulder labrum surgery during spring training in 2025 and missed the entire season before being unceremoniously non-tendered in November. If healthy, this an obvious MiLB deal for a team with a strong pitching lab.
259. Frankie Montas- SP (R)
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 6.9
2025 bWAR: -0.6
2025 Team: New York Mets
Profile: Signed a lucrative deal with the Mets after a mediocre but mostly healthy 2024. It went very badly. The Mets ended up releasing Montas despite still being on the hook for $17 million dollars. Will hope another team can rehabilitate him for the league minimum on a minor league deal while he continues to collect that sweet, sweet Cohen money.
260. Marcus Stroman- SP (RP)
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 21.9
2025 bWAR: -0.3
2025 Team: New York Yankees
Profile: Undersized righty was unceremoniously cut midseason by the Yankees. At one point a solid middle-of-the-rotation arm, subpar performance and acidic personality have put Stroman’s career on life support.
261. Ali Sanchez- C
Age: 29
Career bWAR: -1.0
2025 bWAR: -0.3
2025 Team: Toronto Blue Jays + Boston Red Sox
Profile: Glove-first third-stringer. Depth and not even of the 40-man variety.
SIGNED- New York Yankees, MiLB deal, 12/22
262. Tom Cosgrove- RP (L)
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 0.7
2025 bWAR: 0.1
2025 Team: Chicago Cubs
Profile: Generic lefty with a pulse.
SIGNED- Houston Astros, MiLB deal, 1/29
263. Jonah Bride- UT
Age: 30
Career bWAR: -0.6
2025 bWAR: -0.9
2025 Team: Miami Marlins + Minnesota Twins
Profile: Had a nice 2024. Flat out stunk in 2025. Versatility and the hope he can rediscover his form are currently Bride’s two best attributes.
SIGNED- Texas Rangers, MiLB deal, 11/25
264. Tim Mayza- RP (L)
Age: 34
Career bWAR: 3.1
2025 bWAR: 0.2

265. Joe Mantiply- RP (L)
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 0.3
2025 bWAR: -0.8
2025 Team: Arizona Diamondbacks
Profile: Lefty. Pulse. Yada yada yada. 2022 All-Star but man, was he bad in 2025.
266. Tommy Henry- RP (L)
Age: 28
Career bWAR: 0.3
2025 bWAR: 0.1
2025 Team: Arizona Diamondbacks
Profile: Only a small 6.2 IP sample size for the former Michigan Wolverine. Dreadful run in Triple-A. Might be time for Henry to transition to the bullpen full-time where he can pitch as an up-and-down LOOGY for the next decade.
RE-SIGNED- Arizona Diamondbacks, MiLB Deal, 12/1
267. Sean Guenther- RP (L)
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 0.1
2025 bWAR: -0.1
2025 Team: Detroit Tigers
Profile: In a world full of generic depth lefties, Guenther may be the most generic depth lefty of them all.
RE-SIGNED- Detroit Tigers, MiLB deal, 12/18
268. Cristian Pache- OF
Age: 27
Career bWAR: -1.3
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: N/A
Profile: Still young. Unfortunately, still can’t provide any value with anything except his glove.
SIGNED- New York Mets, MiLB deal, 12/15
269. Garrett Hampson- UT
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 1.4
2025 bWAR: -0.4
2025 Team: Arizona Diamondback + Cincinnati Reds + St. Louis Cardinals
Profile: Hampson stunk in stints with three separate teams. Used to be speedy but at this stage of the game his only particularly useful attribute is his versatility.
SIGNED- Cincinnati Reds, MiLB deal, 1/11
270. Tom Murphy- C
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 4.8
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: San Francisco Giants
Profile: Missed the entire 2025 season due to a herniated disk in his back. He’s a catcher who has hit well in the past as recently as 2023 but given his general propensity for injuries and age, there’s no guarantee he’s even physically able to play anymore.
271. Tayler Saucedo- RP (L)
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 0.4
2025 bWAR: -0.3
2025 Team: Seattle Mariners
Profile: Throws lefty, has pulse.

272. TJ McFarland- RP (L)
Age: 36
Career bWAR: 0.3
2025 bWAR: -0.3
2025 Team: A’s formerly of Oakland
Profile: Lefty. Pulse. You know the drill.
273. Tyson Miller- RP (R)
Age: 30
Career bWAR: 0.7
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: N/A
Profile: Excellent 2024, nonexistent 2025. Such is the life of a fungible depth reliever.
SIGNED- Chicago White Sox, MiLB deal, 1/15
274. Derek Law- RP (R)
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 4.2
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: N/A
Profile: Had far and away the best season of his career in 2024 before missing the entire 2025 season with various arm injuries. If he’s healthy, he’s shown he can be very useful but that’s a big if as things currently stand.
SIGNED- Arizona Diamondbacks, MiLB deal, 1/29
275. Manuel Margot- OF
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 11.4
2025 bWAR: -0.1
2025 Team: Detroit Tigers
Profile: Margot profiles like a player ten years older. At this point, all he can really do is hit singles. Beyond that, there’s very little he has to offer.
276. Zach Penrod- RP (L)
Age: 28
Career bWAR: 0.1
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: Boston Red Sox + Los Angeles Dodgers
Profile: Indy league darling didn’t pitch in the big leagues at all in 2025 and spent most of his time hurt, but he is a lefty with an interesting story which means he will get an opportunity so long as he’s healthy.
SIGNED- Washington Nationals, MiLB deal, 1/20
277. Blake Sabol- C
Age: 28
Career bWAR: 0.2
2025 bWAR: -0.2
2025 Team: Boston Red Sox
Profile: Bad defensive catcher. Has shown something with the bat in the past but certainly not in 2025. Minor league depth.
SIGNED- Tampa Bay Rays, MiLB deal, 1/7
278. Elvis Peguero- RP (R)
Age: 29
Career bWAR: 0.1
2025 bWAR: -0.4
2025 Team: Milwaukee Brewers + Chicago White Sox
Profile: Rough season. Was pretty good in 2023 and 2024 so teams will see if he can’t find his form, but just based on his most recent record, Elvis may have left the building. The building being a career as a major league pitcher, in case you didn’t get the metaphor.
279. Bobby Dalbec- UT
Age: 30
Career bWAR: -0.8
2025 bWAR: 0.0
2025 Team: Chicago White Sox
Profile: Should strongly consider his options internationally given the total lack of MLB success since 2021. At least he’s versatile.
SIGNED- Yomiuri Giants, $1+ million/1 year, 12/21
280. Tim Anderson- UT
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 15.2
2025 bWAR: 0.0
2025 Team: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Profile: Man, he sure got bad in a hurry, didn’t he?
281. Alex Cobb- SP (R)
Age: 38
Career bWAR: 19.4
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: Detroit Tigers
Profile: Effectively stole $15 million from the Tigers after he was unable to return from injury. Might be time to call it quits.
282. Jake Higginbotham- RP (L)
Age: 30
Career bWAR: N/A
2025 bWAR: N/A
2025 Team: N/A
Profile: Only on here because his last name amuses me. He’s a lefty reliever so you never know, maybe he finally gets his shot.
283. Tanner Rainey- RP (R)
Age: 33
Career bWAR: -0.7
2025 bWAR: -0.6
2025 Team: Detroit Tigers + Pittsburgh Pirates
Profile: Fungible middle relief arm. Rainey got hammered in 2025 after struggling badly with his control and is getting kind of long in the tooth.
RE-SIGNED- Detroit Tigers, MiLB deal, 11/27
284. Connor Joe- 1B/OF
Age: 33
Career bWAR: 3.1
2025 bWAR: -0.7
2025 Team: San Diego Padres + Cincinnati Reds
Profile: Rough, rough season. Couldn’t hit, run, throw or catch with any semblance of competence. Yeesh.
SIGNED- Seattle Mariners, MiLB deal, 2/10
285. Hunter Renfroe- OF
Age: 34
Career bWAR: 8.7
2025 bWAR: -1.5
2025 Team: Kansas City Royals
Profile: Might be the end of the road for the Padre’s 2013 first round pick after a disastrous season saw him cut by the Royals after 35 games. Not a bad run if this is it but he hasn’t been good since 2022.
286. Tyler Wade- UT
Age: 31
Career bWAR: -0.6
2025 bWAR: -1.7
2025 Team: San Diego Padres
Profile: Generic utilityman. Previously known for his speed, only managed one stolen base in 2025.
SIGNED- Texas Rangers, MiLB deal, 12/8
287. Jacob Amaya- UT
Age: 27
Career bWAR: -1.1
2025 bWAR: -1.0
2025 Team: Chicago White Sox
Profile: The glove is fine, but unfortunately the bat is one of the worst in the business.
SIGNED- Arizona Diamondbacks, MiLB Deal, 12/1
288. Lucas Sims- RP (R)
Age: 32
Career bWAR: 2.3
2025 bWAR: -0.9
2025 Team: Washington Nationals
Profile: Sims answered the age-old question of what happens when your stuff is overly hittable and you also can’t throw strikes consistently. Turns out, you end up with a 13.86 ERA. Yikes.
SIGNED- Chicago White Sox, MiLB deal, 1/30
289. Shelby Miller- RP (R)
Age: 35
Career bWAR: 10.3
2025 bWAR: 1.5
2025 Team: Arizona Diamondbacks + Milwaukee Brewers
Profile: Had a very nice season but the 2015 All-Star will unfortunately miss the 2026 season to get his second TJS surgery. Obviously not good for someone his age.
SIGNED- Chicago Cubs, $2.5 million/2 years, 2/14

291. Chuckie Robinson- C
Age: 31
Career bWAR: 0.0
2025 bWAR: -1.0
2025 Team: Los Angeles Dodgers
Profile: Solid defender but that doesn’t matter if your bat is worse than the majority of Division III college players. The embodiment of a “break glass in case of emergency catcher”.
RE-SIGNED- Los Angeles Dodgers, MiLB deal, 12/19
292. Zach Pop- RP (R)
Age: 29
Career bWAR: -1.5
2025 bWAR: -0.6
2025 Team: Toronto Blue Jays + Seattle Mariners
Profile: Canadian middle relief depth piece got shelled in his limited major league exposure in 2025. Was better in the minors but dealt with injury. Even at his best, has never been much more than a depth piece.
SIGNED- Philadelphia Phillies, $900 K/1 year (split-contract), 12/22
293. Chadwick Tromp- C
Age: 31
Career bWAR: -0.1
2025 bWAR: 0.1
2025 Team: Atlanta Braves + Baltimore Orioles
Profile: Name that sounds like bizarro Donald Trump from dimension SV-696 or something. In actuality, a 5’8’ fourth string catcher from Aruba.
SIGNED- Atlanta Braves, MiLB Deal, 11/15
294. Jon Gray- SP (R)
Age: 34
Career bWAR: 13.1
2025 bWAR: -0.6

295. Chad Wallach- C

2025 bWAR: 0.0
2025 Team: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

Career bWAR: -0.1
2025 bWAR: -1.2
2025 Team: Houston Astros
Profile: It was a nice story that he was able to make it back to the majors after eight years in 2023 and even contribute a bit in 2024, but he’s pretty much cooked.

Outstanding work as always!
I got substack just for this. Absolutely incredible work. Thank you
