| Ryan O’Hearn (32, 4.6) | PIT | 2-yr, $29M | Will play, likely effectively, against all RHP. Has been very effective last few years. |

| Rowdy Tellez (31, -0.4) | |||
| Wilmer Flores (34, -0.9) | Started hot. Predictably cooled. | ||
| SECOND BASEMEN | Had surgery, but should be fully healthy by O.D. | ||
| Gleyber Torres (29 years old, 4.4 WAR) | DET | 1-yr, $22.025M | Perfectly solid, but DET prob figured he would turn down the offer. |
| Willi Castro (29, 3.5) | COL | 2-yr, $12.8M | Should play daily for COL and he is likely to run a lot. |
| Jorge Polanco (32, 3.0) | NYM | 2-yr, $40M | WIll replace? Alonso. Decent bat, but injuries loom large. |
| Ozzie Albies (29, 2.6) — club option | ATL | 1-yr, $7M | The 28 year old will return to the only team he has ever known. |

| Bo Bichette (28, 4.1) | NYM | 3-yr, $126M | Gets two opt outs – stupid. Mets made power move after missing on Tucker. |
| Ha-Seong Kim (30, 2.9) | ATL | 1-yr, $20M | Will likely steal bags but hit in the bottom third of the order. |
| Isiah Kiner-Falefa (31, 2.8) | |||

| Eugenio Suárez (34, 7.6) | CIN | 1-yr, $15M | Forty-seven mins in. |

| Harrison Bader (32, 4.4) — mutual option | SF | 2-yr, $20.5M | Strong defender with power/speed and injury label. |
| Trent Grisham (29, 3.7) | NYY | $22.025M | Career best season but he still took QO. No chance he repeats the HRs, right? |
| Cedric Mullins (31, 3.5) | TB | 1-yr, $7M | Should go 15/20 while facing all the righties for platoon happy Rays. |
| Luis Robert Jr. (28, 1.8) — club option | NYM | White Sox picked up $20M option. | |
| Michael A. Taylor (35, 0.4) | |||
| Garrett Hampson (31, 0.2) | CIN | Minor Lg. | No longer a thing. No interest. |

| RIGHT FIELDERS | |||
| Kyle Tucker (29 years old, 8.7 WAR) | LAD | 4-yr, $240M | Dodgers strike again. A video. |
| Mike Yastrzemski (35, 4.1) | ATL | 2-yr, $23M | Won’t face lefties, but should be out theree against all the righties. |

| Jason Heyward (36, 0.3) | |||
| Austin Slater (33, -0.2) | NYY interested? | ||
| Hunter Renfroe (34, -0.8) | |||
| DESIGNATED HITTERS | |||
| Kyle Schwarber (33 years old, 8.3 WAR) | PHI | 5-yr, $150M | Always seemed like he would re-sign. Coming off best season, but contract takes him to 38 yrs of age. |
| Marcell Ozuna (35, 5.9) | Finally hit a wall in 2025. | ||
| Joc Pederson (34, 2.2) — can opt out (Rangers can void via club option) | |||
| Andrew McCutchen (39, 0.4) | |||
| Eloy Jiménez (29, -0.9) | TOR | Minor Lg. | Had 31 HRs as a rookie. Never again 20. |
| STARTING PITCHERS | |||
| Chris Sale (37 years old, 10.0 WAR) — club option | ATL | 1-yr, $18M | Still a dominant force, but innings are dwindling as he approaches 37 years of age. |

| Framber Valdez (32, 7.7) | |||
| Ranger Suárez (30, 7.5) | BOS | 5-yr, $130M | Ground ball ways should play well in Boston. Strong asset, but not a growth stock. |
| Jack Flaherty (30, 5.9) — can opt out | DET | 1-yr, $20M | He took the deal. He wouldn’t have gotten that $ on the market. |
| Nick Martinez (35, 5.5) | |||
| Chris Bassitt (37, 4.8) | 30 starts 4-straight years. | ||
| Michael King (31, 4.7) | SD | 3-yr., $75M | Stays home. Only 15 starts last year, but should rebound. |
| Shota Imanaga (32, 4.0) — club option/player option | 1-yr | $22.025M | Cubs declined his extension. Why? He accepted QO. Why? He’s gotta be hurt, right? |
| Zac Gallen (30, 3.9) | Recapured glory down stretch. | ||
| Merrill Kelly (37, 3.8) | ARI | 2-yr, $40M | Returns after trade to TEX as expected. Still very effective despite advancing age. |
| Zack Littell (30, 3.7) | |||
| Patrick Corbin (36, 3.6) | |||
| Erick Fedde (33, 3.2) | |||
| Justin Verlander (43, 2.9) | Where will the future HOFamer end up? | ||
| Colin Rea (35, 2.7) — club option | CHC | 2-yr, $13M | He’s no ace, but he’s a strong swingman type who can chew up innings. |
| Zach Eflin (32, 2.6) | BAL | 1-yr, $10M | Can earn $5M more. Says back feels better, after surgery, than in decades. |
| Kyle Hendricks (36, 2.2) | Plans to retire. | ||
| Miles Mikolas (37, 2.2) | |||
| Nestor Cortes (31, 2.1) | |||
| Adrian Houser (33, 2.1) | SF | 2-yr, $22 | Added velocity and was productive last year. Doesn’t miss bats or have a ceiling though. |
| Tyler Mahle (31, 2.1) | SF | 1-yr, $10M | Just like man listed above, a veteran 4/5 starter they Hope will be healthy enough to make 20+ starts. |
| Lucas Giolito (30, 2.0) | Had elbow issues, but said to be OK. | ||
| Andrew Heaney (35, 1.9) | Retired. | ||
| Michael Lorenzen (34, 1.9) | COL | 1-yr, $8M | Colorado is a great place, but this seems like a money grab. Avoid him in mixers. |

| Aaron Civale (31, 1.8) | |||
| Chris Paddack (30, 1.8) | |||
| Brandon Woodruff (33, 1.8) | MIL | $22.025M | Returns to MIL. Maybe a longer term deal will be worked out for oft-injured one? |
| Tyler Anderson (36, 1.6) | TEX | 1-yr | Can start/relieve, and almost certainly will do so again in 2026. |
| Michael Soroka (28, 1.5) | ARI | 1-yr, $7.5M | Could start or relieve, but oh those injuries. |
| Jon Gray (34, 1.4) | |||
| Frankie Montas (33, 1.3) — can opt out | |||
| Martín Pérez (35, 1.3) — mutual option | ATL | Minor Lg. | Only 11g due to shoulder. Just depth in ATL. |
| Shane Bieber (31, 1.1) — player option | TOR | 1-yr, $16M | Surprised some by taking his one year player option after strong finish. |
| Griffin Canning (30, 1.0) | Rekindled potential in 2025. | ||
| Chris Flexen (31, 1.0) | |||
| Marcus Stroman (35, 1.0) | |||
| Max Scherzer (41, 1.0) | Said he wants to keep pitching. | ||
| Austin Gomber (32, 0.9) | TEX | Minor Lg. | Parents… teach your kid to throw left-handed. |
| Cal Quantrill (31, 0.9) | TEX | Minor Lg. | Better than Gomber – by a hair – and he’s a righty. |
| Dustin May (28, 0.8) | STL | 1-yr, $12M | Will – try to at least – take the open slot created by the loss of Sonny Gray. |
| Paul Blackburn (32, 0.6) | NYY | 1-yr, $2M | Will likely make a handful of needed, but not usable in fantasy, starts. |
| Jordan Montgomery (33, 0.6) | |||
| John Means (33, 0.5) — club option | Tore Achilles in December. | ||
| JT Brubaker (32, 0.4) | |||
| Alex Cobb (38, 0.3) | |||
| Germán Márquez (31, 0.2) | Who needs someone to throw BP? | ||
| Tomoyuki Sugano (36, 0.1) | |||
| Ryan Yarbrough (34, 0.1) | NYY | 1-yr, $2.5M | Still useful. Not a fantasy option. |
| Carlos Carrasco (39, 0.0) | ATL | Minor Lg. | Was awful last year (1,71 WHIP) seems like a longshot for relevance. |
| José Ureña (34, 0.0) | |||
| José Urquidy (31, 0.0) — club option | |||
| Kenta Maeda (38, -0.1) | JPN | He decided to return to Japan to finish out his career. | |
| Mike Clevinger (35, -0.2) | |||
| Kyle Hart (33, -0.2) — club option | SD | 1-yr | Failed as SP but not bad as RP. |

| Walker Buehler (31, -0.4) | |||
| Anthony DeSclafani (36, -0.7) | |||
| RELIEF PITCHERS | |||
| Edwin Díaz (32, 3.1) | LAD | 3-yr, $69M | Always supremely paid – for strikeouts? Relegates Tanner Scott to setup role. |
| Robert Suarez (35, 2.8) | ATL | 3-yr, $45M | Likely, prob, maybe, gets second crack at the 9th inning? |
| Raisel Iglesias (36, 2.6) | ATL | 1-yr, $16M | Likely, prob, maybe, gets 1st crack at the 9th inning? |
| Andrés Muñoz (27, 2.5) — club option | Club option was picked up. | ||
| Ryan Helsley (31, 2.5) | BAL | 2-yr, $28M | Should take over as the closer after uneven season. Has an opt out. |
| Devin Williams (31, 2.2) | NYM | 3-yr, $51M | Paid to be closer and looks like he will with the other big name arms off the board. |

| Kenley Jansen (38, 2.0) | DET | 1-yr, $11M | Still gets the 27th out very well. Open question how many chances he will get this year. |

| Pete Fairbanks (32, 1.5) — club option | MIA | 1-yr, $13M | Will certainly close after Henriquez surgery. Really good – oft-injured. |
| Sean Newcomb (33, 1.5) | CWS | 1-yr, $4.5M | Finally found his home in the bullpen throwing lots of fastballs. |
| Emilio Pagán (35, 1.5) | CIN | 2-yr, $20M | 34 yr old turns 32 saves into a deal with an opt out – out of nowhere. |
| Jakob Junis (33, 1.4) | TEX | 1-yr, $4M | Strong signing but no fantasy value. |

| Danny Coulombe (36, 1.2) | |||
| Kyle Finnegan (34, 1.2) | DET | 2-yr, $19M | Will he close or set up? Will battle Vest/Jansen for the 9th. |
| Hunter Harvey (31, 1.2) | CHC | 1-yr, $6M | Really good, but frequently sidelined. |
| Steven Matz (35, 1.2) | TB | 2-yr, $15M | Has settled in as an RP. However, sounds like he will get a shot to start. |
| Gregory Soto (31, 1.2) | PIT | 1-yr, $7.8M | Hefty paycheck for a nondescripte middle reliever. |
| Caleb Ferguson (29, 1.1) | CIN | 1-yr | A bridge to the 9th with no mixed league value. |
