With the MLB Offseason officially underway, no story sees more headlines than the free agent market. With predictions running rampant across the internet, here’s our take on the landing spots of every major Free Agent:

Kyle Tucker

While Tucker’s 2025 wasn’t his best, he still managed to be a key piece on a light show of an offense; he posted a .841 OPS with 22 homers for the Cubs. With his age and offensive prowess, it’s no surprise that Tucker is the most coveted bat this offseason. Many consider his contract range in the 10 year, $400 million range, meaning it really boils down to which big-spending team can win him over. In the end, what’s more attractive than a team who won back-to-back rings?

Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers

Bo Bichette

Bichette has a monster bounce-back season, slashing .311/.357/.483 and likely leading the league in hits if it wasn’t for an injury in September. Bo is one of the most talented hitters in Baseball, making him highly coveted for any team at any position. Bichette has been considered for many positions, including 2B, SS, and 3B, though he is likely to stay at Short. With everything in mind, Bochette will likely receive a massive contract in the 7 Year, $225 million range, making him perfect for a big market team. With this in mind, it makes the most sense for him to stay with his life-long teammate, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Prediction: Toronto Blue Jays

Kyle Schwarber

Schwarber’s 2025 season was a lot like his others: homers on homers on homers; the Phillies slugger mashed 56 home runs with 132 RBIs. With numbers like these, Schwarber reasonably projects as a vital piece for any contender. With a contract projection of about 5 years, $150 million, the market for Schwarber is wide open. While it’s not popular, we love storylines, so why not a homecoming for the 32-year-old star?

Prediction: Chicago Cubs

Cody Bellinger

While not being the most glamorous player in the league, Cody Bellinger still showed why he’s a former MVP in 2025. He hit 29 home runs, scored 98 runners, and kept an .814 OPS, a very solid stat line. With his performance, it’s very hard to believe his team will let him go, even if it takes ~$160 million over 6 years.

Prediction: New York Yankees

Alex Bregman

Bregman is a tremendous player, playing Gold-Glove defense at 3rd while absolutely mashing at the plate. In an injury-riddled campaign, Bregman managed to mash 18 homers and 62 RBIs, good for a .822 OPS. With Bregman in his prime, he looks for similar contract to Bellinger: 5 years, $160 million. Since the slugger’s prime will likely end before his contract does, he remains a perfect option for any team trying to win now, particularly for contenders without great production at the hot corner. Of those contenders, there seems to be a lot of pressure on one specific team, as their core is against and their window seems to be closing.

Prediction: Philadelphia Phillies

Pete Alonso

Pete Alonso remains a tremendous hitter, mashing 38 homers while maintaining a solid average and a .871 OPS. While it may be hard to imagine the life-long Met leaving his team, his contract projection of $110 million over 4 years may prove to be too much of a commitment, especially since the slugger’s prime dwindles with time. That being said, his offensive prowess is perfect for those without a solid option at 1B, and one certain contender seems desperate for both production and experience.

Prediction: Boston Red Sox

Michael King

In his best season (2024), Michael King posted a 2.95 ERA with 201 Ks. This ceiling paints the slinger in a great light, as he was able to emulate his performance in 2025 despite a shortened season. The contract for King projects at 3 years, $80 million, making him an expensive starter. For one team, however, money does not truly matter, as they are willing to spend anything to redeem a tragic 2025 downfall.

Prediction: New York Mets

Dylan Cease

Dylan Cease’s 2025 season was one to be forgotten, as his ERA soured to 4.55. However, as he’s done throughout his career, Cease was able to strike out 215 batters, making him one of the most dominant K artists in Baseball. Due to Cease’s history, the pitcher projects at 7 years, $200 million for his new deal, making him a great candidate for a big market team. Of these teams, one stands out as desperate for a starter, especially of Cease’s caliber.

Prediction: Boston Red Sox

Ranger Suarez

Ranger Suarez will not be an ace for a contender. but he’s proven to be a very reliable 2/3 man, posting a 3.20 ERA with 151 Ks in 2025. The southpaw’s contract outlook seems to be around 5 years, $150 million, making him yet another big name starter for a contender. To us, the choice seems clear, as one major contender has a serious lack of lefty arms and a rotation that could use some work, especially since their ace is a free agent next year.

Prediction: Toronto Blue Jays

Framber Valdez

One of the most consistently great pitchers in the league, Frambee Valdez continued his wuierly great production in 2025, boasting a 3.66 ERA with 187 Ks. Because of his consistency, Valdez projects to a 6 year, $180 miliion dollar contract, a very lucrative deal for a pitcher. While we could take the easy route and predict the southpaw to land with the Yankees or Mets, a different option seems very appealing: a borderline contender with a lot of young players and serious pressure to spend.

Prediction: Baltimore Orioles

Tatsuya Imai

Tatsuya Imai boasted a 1.92 ERA with 178 strikeouts in 2025, completely dominating Japanese baseball. The 27-year-old projects to an expensive 8 year, $190 million dollar contract with an MLB team this winter, and many stand out as good options. For Japanese players, the west coast proves to be a welcoming place, with many Japanese legends signing with the Dodgers. However, many seem to forget another popular Japanese destination, one with a dire need for starters.

Prediction: San Diego Padres

Munetaka Murakami

For years, Munetaka Murakami has mashed homers across the Japanese leagues, becoming their single-season homerun king in 2022. While he strikes out a lot, Murakami projects similarly to Jung Hoo-Lee’s contract, costing around $150 million for 7 years. With a bat gleaning with so much potential, all teams want to sign Murakami, with many needing a corner infielder. Of these teams, one sticks out as a serious contender with a very attractive spot for Asian players.

Prediction: Seattle Mariners
