Back in August, we took an early look at this year’s free-agent class, identifying 10 players who will likely draw plenty of attention this winter. Following the postseason, we expanded the list to 30, and we are tracking their destinations as they select teams for 2026.

In light of the surprising news of Framber Valdez agreeing to a three-year deal with the Tigers, we asked MLB Insider Mark Feinsand to break down what the impact this has on the few remaining free agents, as well as the rest of the American League. 1) The Tigers weren’t

Sometime in the early part of the next decade, Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander will find themselves in Cooperstown. And while it would be completely understandable for the pair of 40-somethings to hang up their spikes and begin their five-year clock to the Hall of Fame ballot, neither seems ready

The calendar flips to February on Sunday, meaning that the Spring Training countdown will enter single-digit days. Yet several free agents remain unsigned, none bigger than Framber Valdez, who was among the top four arms on the market when the offseason began. Dylan Cease (Blue Jays), Ranger Suárez (Red Sox)

The past two weeks saw a flurry of moves around baseball: The Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker, the Yankees re-signed Cody Bellinger, the Mets dealt for Freddy Peralta and signed Bo Bichette, the Red Sox signed Ranger Suárez, the Rangers traded for MacKenzie Gore, and the Giants added Harrison Bader. While

The pop of the mitt. The crack of the bat. Players talking about being in the best shape of their lives. Even as many of us work to dig out from beneath the latest snowfall that disrupted the weekend, the sounds of spring will be here before we know it.

It was a wild Wednesday for the Hot Stove -- especially in the Big Apple. Early in the day, Cody Bellinger agreed to a deal to return to the Yankees, taking the top free-agent position player off the board. Several hours later, it was the Mets’ turn to strike. On

It didn’t take long for the Mets to turn around the public perception of their offseason, signing Bo Bichette before trading for Luis Robert Jr. to address two significant holes in their lineup. But the next move -- and some would say the most important one -- came Wednesday night,

Earlier this week, we examined the potential trade market for Tarik Skubal, the clear headliner in next winter’s free-agent class. But Skubal isn’t the only impending free agent whose name will surface in trade talk in the coming weeks and months. Clubs could look to move players ahead of this

In light of the surprising news of Bo Bichette reportedly agreeing to terms with the Mets, we asked MLB Insider Mark Feinsand to break down what this means for the rest of the free agent and trade market.

On the heels of Kyle Tucker agreeing to a deal with the Dodgers, we asked MLB Insider Mark Feinsand to break down what it means for the teams that missed out on Tucker and the rest of the free-agent market.

Tarik Skubal and the Tigers made big news last week when they were unable to settle on a contract for 2026, exchanging arbitration figures that showed a massive gap between the two sides.

On the heels of Alex Bregman agreeing to terms with the Cubs according to a source, we asked MLB Insider Mark Feinsand to examine the impact of this deal on the free-agent and trade markets.

Eighteen players were unable to come to terms with their teams on a salary for 2026 prior to Thursday night’s deadline, and while all of them exchanged arbitration figures with their clubs, one stood out above the rest. Tarik Skubal, the two-time defending American League Cy Young Award winner, filed

From the moment free agency began in early November, Kyle Tucker has been the consensus No. 1 player on the market. So why is it that in the first week of January, he seems no closer to signing than he did two months ago? Tucker’s market has been relatively slow

For Alex Bregman, this winter has been a case of déjà vu all over again. The third baseman has been seeking a new contract since he opted out of the final two years and $80 million of his deal with the Red Sox, hoping to land the long-term contract that

Tatsuya Imai became the first free agent to secure a deal in 2026, but there are some high-profile names still out there to be had. With Spring Training only six weeks away, here’s the latest on six available players who will have a huge impact on the 2026 season.

On the heels of Japanese right-hander Tatsuya Imai agreeing to a deal with the Astros, we asked MLB Insider Mark Feinsand to break down what it means for the rest of the free-agent market.

When my Hall of Fame ballot arrives each year, there are typically a first-time candidate or two that stand out as no-brainer votes. Last year, it was Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia. In 2023, Adrian Beltre and Joe Mauer fell into that category for me. This year’s ballot didn’t have

With the news of Munetaka Murakami signing with the White Sox, we asked MLB insider Mark Feinsand to examine the contract and how the White Sox proceed from here. Murakami’s two-year, $34 million contract with the White Sox is significantly shorter with a lower average annual value than the one

The second domino of the high-end starting pitching market fell on Friday, when the Padres announced the re-signing of Michael King. Nearly three weeks after Dylan Cease agreed to a seven-year, $210 million deal with the Blue Jays, King returned to San Diego on a three-year, $75 million contract that

For the second straight year, the Dodgers will receive a nice bonus to go with their World Series rings. Los Angeles’ 2025 postseason shares were worth $484,747.57 each, part of a total pool worth nearly $128.2 million. The total players’ pool -- which stems from factors such as games played,

As the clock on Munetaka Murakami’s posting window continues to tick toward Monday’s 5 p.m. ET deadline, the market for the Japanese slugger had not started to crystalize as of this week. There hasn't been much concrete news on where his market stands or which clubs have the most interest

When the offseason began, Bo Bichette was the consensus No. 1 choice among all available shortstops, setting him up for a potential bidding war between clubs in need at that position. As we head toward January, things have changed a bit. Namely the way Bichette is marketing himself. According to

We’ve seen a number of signings since the conclusion of last week’s Winter Meetings. But with fewer than 10 days remaining in the holiday shopping season, there are still plenty of deals to be made.
