Major League Baseball free agency began after the Dodgers’ World Series. Juan Soto heads a long list of the best players who will be in free agency.

Soto heads a list after projecting to have a contract of over $500 million dollars. This will be his first time in free agency and all 30 teams will be able to make a great offer for the Dominican.

Soto had a .288 batting average with 166 hits, 41 home runs, 109 RBIs and 128 runs scored in 157 games in 2024.

In second place is right-hander Corbin Burnes, who was with the Baltimore Orioles in 2024. Burnes went 15-9 with a 2.92 ERA and 181 strikeouts in 32 appearances in 2024.

The right-hander was key in Baltimore’s qualification for the American League wild card, although the Orioles were swept in the first round of the postseason.

Left-hander Blake Snell will also be part of free agency. The left-hander, National League Cy Young in 2023, He rejected his option with the San Francisco Giants. He will be one of the best left-handed pitchers in free agency.

Pete Alonso will be one of the sluggers entering free agency. The first baseman spent all his years with the New York Mets, but this year he could take a new direction.

Another of the great free agents will be the shortstop Willy Adames, who is coming off a historic season with 30 home runs and more than 100 RBIs as shortstop. According to reports, the Dodgers are one of those interested in the Dominican shortstop.
