Here are the free agents for every team
Here is a team-by-team breakdown of the notable free agents for all 30 clubs through the Nov. 18 deadline for tendering contracts to arbitration-eligible players.
AL EAST
Blue Jays
OF Jackie Bradley Jr., RHP David Phelps, RHP Ross Stripling, INF Vinny Capra, OF Raimel Tapia, OF Bradley Zimmer
After picking up Anthony Bass’ $3 million club option, the Blue Jays could be interested in a reunion with Stripling and Phelps as well. Stripling was especially valuable this season, stepping up in a big way after joining the rotation in place of an injured Hyun Jin Ryu.
Orioles
1B Jesús Aguilar, C Robinson Chirinos, RHP Jordan Lyles, 2B Rougned Odor
With the Orioles coming to an end of a lengthy rebuilding period, most of their players are either early in their arbitration eligibility or pre-arb, with the exception of these veterans. Lyles was a durable innings-eater for the club last season after signing a one-year deal worth $6 million in guaranteed money, but Baltimore turned down his $11 million option for 2023.
Rays
OF Kevin Kiermaier, RHP Corey Kluber, OF David Peralta, C Mike Zunino, RHP Ryan Yarbrough
The Rays declined Kiermaier’s $13 million club option after another injury-plagued season, but they could look to bring back the three-time Gold Glove Award winner on a lesser deal. It's also possible Tampa Bay will make an effort to re-sign Zunino, who is a well-regarded defensive catcher.
Red Sox
SS Xander Bogaerts, RHP Nathan Eovaldi, LHP Rich Hill, DH J.D. Martinez, OF Tommy Pham, LHP Matt Strahm, RHP Michael Wacha, OF Franchy Cordero, INF Yu Chang
The Red Sox could see three more members of their 2018 World Series-championship winning club depart this offseason, with Martinez and Eovaldi at the end of their contracts and Bogaerts opting out. Boston hit a home run with its signing of Wacha to a one-year, $7 million contract, but the 31-year-old will have a chance to test free agency again with his stock much higher.
Yankees
OF Andrew Benintendi, LHP Zack Britton, DH Matt Carpenter, RHP Miguel Castro, LHP Aroldis Chapman, UTL Marwin Gonzalez, RHP Chad Green, OF Aaron Judge, RHP Jameson Taillon
The Yankees’ entire offseason will center around Judge, who bet on himself when he turned down New York’s contract extension offer before Opening Day and went on to put up one of the best walk-year campaigns of all time. New York was able to re-sign Anthony Rizzo after the first baseman opted out. Carpenter, who signed with the Yankees in May after being let go by the Rangers, put up a 1.138 OPS with 15 home runs in 47 games before fracturing his foot, so both sides could have interest in running it back.
AL CENTRAL
Guardians
C Austin Hedges, RHP Bryan Shaw, LHP/OF Anthony Gose, C Luke Maile
After signing José Ramírez to a seven-year contract extension in April, the Guardians will enter this offseason with their top players all under control through 2023 and beyond.
Royals
RHP Zack Greinke, LHP Jake Brentz, RHP Nate Webb
The Royals are in the midst of a full-blown youth movement, so their only impending free agent is Greinke, who signed a one-year, $13 million contract with Kansas City in March. That said, the Royals have a number of non-tender candidates who could join their list of free agents.
Tigers
C Tucker Barnhart, LHP Andrew Chafin, LHP Daniel Norris, 3B Jeimer Candelario, INF Brendan Davis, UTIL Harold Castro, UTIL Willi Castro, C Michael Papierski, RHP Miguel Diaz, RHP Kyle Funkhouser
Chafin turned down his $7 million player option for 2023, and the Tigers non-tendered seven players, including Candelario.
Twins
RHP Chris Archer, RHP Dylan Bundy, SS Carlos Correa, RHP Michael Fulmer, OF Billy Hamilton, C Sandy León, RHP Aaron Sanchez, C Gary Sánchez, 1B Miguel Sanó
The biggest question for the Twins this offseason is whether they’ll make an effort to re-sign Correa after he opted out in pursuit of a longer contract than the three-year, $105.3 million pact he inked with Minnesota in March. His next deal, assuming he opts out, would likely shatter the Twins record of $184 million set by Joe Mauer’s extension in 2010. Exercising Sonny Gray’s $12 million option was a no-brainer, but Minnesota declined its options on Archer ($10 million), Bundy ($11 million) and Sanó ($14 million).
White Sox
1B José Abreu, SS Elvis Andrus, RHP Johnny Cueto, 2B Josh Harrison, OF AJ Pollock, RHP Vince Velasquez, OF Adam Engel, OF Mark Payton, INF Danny Mendick
Abreu is a clubhouse leader for the White Sox and continues to produce at the age of 35, so we could see Chicago make a strong effort to re-sign him. The last time he was a free agent, he accepted a qualifying offer from the White Sox before signing a new three-year, $50 million deal covering the 2020-22 seasons. Tim Anderson, another important member of the White Sox core, had his $12.5 million club option picked up for 2023.
AL WEST
Angels
RHP Archie Bradley, IF Matt Duffy, RHP Michael Lorenzen, C Kurt Suzuki, LHP Jhonathan Diaz, RHP Touki Toussaint, RHP Nash Walters, LHP Rob Zastryzny
The Angels don’t have any cornerstone players hitting free agency this offseason, but Shohei Ohtani is eligible to test the open market after 2023. As a result, the Halos could try to work out a long-term extension with the two-way superstar in the coming months.
Astros
OF Michael Brantley, C Jason Castro, UTL Aledmys Díaz, 1B Yuli Gurriel, 1B Trey Mancini, LHP Will Smith, C Christian Vázquez, RHP Justin Verlander, RHP Josh James
The Astros have continued to move forward despite losing Gerrit Cole, George Springer and Carlos Correa to free agency in recent offseasons. Houston was able to re-sign Verlander after he missed all of 2021 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he’s better positioned to land a lucrative multiyear deal after turning in a Cy Young-worthy season. The Astros also re-signed Brantley the last time he became a free agent, but the veteran is now 35 and coming off season-ending right shoulder surgery.
Athletics
OF Chad Pinder, RHP Deolis Guerra, LHP Jared Koenig, INF David MacKinnon
After trading Matt Olson, Matt Chapman, Chris Bassitt and Sean Manaea before the 2022 season, and Frankie Montas and Lou Trivino prior to the Trade Deadline, the A’s could have a relatively quiet offseason.
Mariners
LHP Matthew Boyd, C Curt Casali, 2B Adam Frazier, OF Mitch Haniger, 1B Carlos Santana, RHP Luke Weaver, C Luis Torrens, C Brian O'Keefe
It will be interesting to see whether the Mariners try to re-sign Haniger, who recorded 39 homers with 100 RBIs in 2021 but has missed substantial time due to injuries since 2019. He’ll turn 32 in December.
Rangers
RHP Kohei Arihara, OF Kole Calhoun, IF Charlie Culberson, LHP Matt Moore, C Kevin Plawecki, RHP Nick Snyder
The Rangers could look to bring back Moore, who flourished as a reliever after signing a Minor League contract. They did bring back LHP Martín Pérez, who accepted the qualifying offer.
NL EAST
Braves
IF Ehire Adrianza, RHP Jesse Chavez, OF Adam Duvall, OF Robbie Grossman, RHP Jay Jackson, RHP Luke Jackson, RHP Kenley Jansen, RHP Darren O'Day, SS Dansby Swanson, RHP Silvino Bracho, OF Guillermo Heredia, RHP Alan Rangel, RHP Jackson Stephens, RHP Brooks Wilson
The Braves’ top priority will likely be re-signing Swanson. The 28-year-old cooled off at the plate in the second half, but he has reached the 20-homer mark in each of the past two years and is one of the best defensive shortstops in the game.
*Marlins
*
3B Brian Anderson, RHP Nick Neidert
The Marlins not tendering a contract to Anderson was a mild surprise, though he struggled at the plate the last two seasons.
Mets
RHP Chris Bassitt, LHP Alex Claudio, RHP Jacob deGrom, RHP Mychal Givens RHP Seth Lugo, RHP Trevor May, OF Tyler Naquin, RHP Adam Ottavino, LHP Joely Rodríguez, RHP Taijuan Walker, RHP Trevor Williams, 1B Dominic Smith, RHP Sean Reid-Foley
The Mets are in the unenviable position of having three starting pitchers (deGrom, Bassitt, Walker), their starting center fielder/leadoff hitter (Nimmo) and their top two setup men (Ottavino, Lugo) all reach free agency. However, they were able to bring back All-Star closer Edwin Díaz, who agreed to a five-year, $102 million contract, the largest for a reliever in MLB history. They also picked up their club options on Carlos Carrasco ($14 million), Daniel Vogelbach ($1.5 million) and John Curtiss ($775,000)
Nationals
RHP Steve Cishek, DH Nelson Cruz, RHP Carl Edwards Jr., RHP Will Harris, 2B César Hernández, RHP Joe Ross, RHP Erasmo Ramírez, RHP Aníbal Sánchez, 1B/DH Luke Voit, RHP Erick Fedde, RHP Tommy Romero
Coming off a 97-loss season in 2021, the Nats signed a number of veterans with an eye on respectability in 2022. But after trading Juan Soto in July, the club is now in a full-scale rebuild. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Washington move on from most of these players.
Phillies
RHP Chris Devenski, RHP Zach Eflin, RHP Kyle Gibson, LHP Brad Hand, RHP Corey Knebel, RHP David Robertson, 2B Jean Segura, RHP Noah Syndergaard
The Phillies could have considerable turnover on the pitching side before next season, but Aaron Nola will be back after the team picked up his option for 2023. The club, however, declined Segura’s $17 million option.
NL CENTRAL
Brewers
RHP Brad Boxberger, RHP Josh Lindblom, OF Andrew McCutchen, C Omar Narváez, IF Jace Peterson, LHP Taylor Rogers, RHP Trevor Rosenthal, RHP Trevor Gott, RHP Luis Perdomo, RHP Jandel Gustave
Catchers Victor Caratini, Pedro Severino and Alex Jackson are all controllable beyond 2022, so it’s not a given that the Brewers will try to re-sign Narváez, who made the 2021 NL All-Star team but for the most part has been a below-average offensive presence since the start of 2020. Kolten Wong will be back after Milwaukee picked up his $10 million option for 2023, but Boxberger's $3 million option was declined.
Cardinals
OF Corey Dickerson, LHP José Quintana, RHP Alex Reyes, OF Ben DeLuzio
Yadier Molina and Albert Pujols retired after the 2022 season, but the club re-signed Adam Wainwright for one more year. St. Louis could look to re-sign Quintana after he recorded a 2.01 ERA over 12 starts with the Cards, who acquired the lefty at the Trade Deadline.
Cubs
C Willson Contreras, LHP Drew Smyly, LHP Wade Miley, LHP Brailyn Marquez, RHP Alexander Vizcaino, OF Rafael Ortega
Although they traded Yu Darvish, Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Javier Báez and Craig Kimbrel between the end of the 2020 season and the 2021 Trade Deadline, the Cubs ended up holding onto Contreras through the 2022 Deadline. A return to Chicago, either via a qualifying offer or a new multiyear deal, remains a possibility for the All-Star catcher.
Pirates
OF Ben Gamel, C Roberto Pérez
Most of Pittsburgh’s players are not even eligible for arbitration yet, and neither Gamel nor Perez is expected to be part of the Pirates’ long-term future.
Reds
RHP Chase Anderson, LHP Mike Minor, C Austin Romine, IF Donovan Solano, RHP Hunter Strickland, LHP Justin Wilson, OF Aristides Aquino, OF Allan Cerda, RHP Kyle Dowdy, RHP Daniel Duarte, RHP Jeff Hoffman, RHP Derek Law, RHP Jared Solomon, RHP Art Warren
The rebuilding Reds could move on from all of these players this offseason.
NL WEST
D-backs
RHP Zach Davies, RHP Ian Kennedy, RHPReyes Moronta
Davies and Kennedy both signed one-year deals with 2023 mutual options in March and provided veteran experience for an Arizona club that was short on proven arms.
Dodgers
IF Hanser Alberto, LHP Danny Duffy, OF Joey Gallo, RHP Tommy Kahnle, LHP Clayton Kershaw, LHP Andrew Heaney, RHP Craig Kimbrel, RHP Chris Martin, RHP Jimmy Nelson, OF Kevin Pillar, LHP David Price, 3B Justin Turner, SS Trea Turner, CF Cody Bellinger, INF Edwin Rios, UTIL Luke Williams
When the Dodgers lost shortstop Corey Seager to the Rangers last offseason, they had a tailor-made replacement in Trea Turner. But now Turner is a free agent, too. The Dodgers are reportedly close to bringing back Kershaw for 2023, but they lost a key piece of their rotation when Tyler Anderson rejected their qualifying offer and reportedly reached a three-year deal with the Angels.
Giants
LHP José Álvarez, 1B Brandon Belt, 3B Evan Longoria , RHP Shelby Miller, LHP Carlos Rodón, RHP Sam Delaplane, LHP Jarlín García, RHP Mauricio Llovera, C Dom Nuñez, RHP Drew Strotman, C Meibrys Viloria, UTIL Jason Vosler, UTIL Donovan Walton, INF Colton Welker, LHP Alex Young
Positioned to be the most coveted starter on the market, Rodón opted out of the final year remaining on his two-year, $44 million deal. San Francisco was able to bring back Joc Pederson via the qualifying offer, but the club could move on from Belt and Longoria.
Padres
1B Josh Bell, RHP Mike Clevinger, 3B Brandon Drury, RHP Pierce Johnson, LHP Sean Manaea, RHP Nick Martinez, OF Wil Myers, OF Jurickson Profar, RHP Craig Stammen, RHP Robert Suarez, C Jorge Alfaro, RHP Efraín Contreras
Joe Musgrove would have been the Padres’ biggest free agent this offseason, but he inked a five-year, $100 million contract extension in August. The Friars have two other starters hitting free agency in Clevinger and Manaea, but it’s possible the team will look elsewhere to fill those rotation spots. The Myers era in San Diego could be over after eight seasons, with the Padres declining his $20 million club option.
Rockies
RHP Alex Colomé, RHP Carlos Estévez, SS José Iglesias, RHP Chad Kuhl, RHP Scott Oberg, UTIL Garrett Hampson
After losing Trevor Story and Jon Gray at the end of the 2021 season, the Rockies don’t have anyone of that caliber entering free agency this offseason, though Iglesias had a solid season on a one-year, $5 million deal.
