It is that time again where the Hot Stove is about to heat up. Let’s take a look at the top 30 players in MLB free agency.
MLB free agency is one of the most exciting times for a baseball fan. It is a time when fans can dream of landing that players needed to contend for the playoffs, or to help bring their franchise back to respectability. It is also a time when fans can be easily frustrated, either with their favorite team’s lack of spending, or with the free agents that have been brought in.
This offseason, there are a number of potential gems available. Manny Machado and Bryce Harper headline the free agent class, although there are plenty of other attractive options on the offensive side. For pitching, the top option is currently Patrick Corbin, although there are other intriguing options available.
More importantly, this offseason is likely to be much different than last year. During the previous free agent class, there was not a single player that could be regarded as a difference maker. The offseason moved along at a glacial pace, as teams were loathe to commit the necessary money to players that would not bring the franchise to the next level.
This year, MLB free agency should be much different. As we get ready for the madness, let us take a look at the top 30 players available in free agency.
