Still Available: Top Unsigned Free Agents

Framber Valdez (LHP)

One of the top remaining starters on the market. The Astros ace logged 200+ innings last season. Multiple contenders circling.

Anthony Santander (OF)

The 40+ home run slugger remains unsigned as teams weigh his elite power production against a long-term commitment. Several contenders have expressed interest.

Nolan Arenado (3B)

The veteran third baseman seeks a fresh start. His Gold Glove defense and postseason experience make him an intriguing option for contenders looking to upgrade at the hot corner.

Qualifying Offer Acceptances

Four players accepted their $22.025M qualifying offers and will return to their respective teams: Trent Grisham (Yankees), Gleyber Torres (Tigers), Brandon Woodruff (Brewers), and Shota Imanaga (Cubs).

Key Storylines

Dodgers Building a Superteam

With Kyle Tucker joining Ohtani, Betts, Freeman, and their loaded pitching staff, the Dodgers now have eight nine-figure contracts. They're going for a three-peat and sparing no expense. The question isn't if they're favorites, it's whether anyone can compete.

Blue Jays Bounce Back?

After losing the World Series to the Dodgers, Toronto has been aggressive. Dylan Cease ($210M) and Kazuma Okamoto ($60M) headline their additions. Can they make another run in 2026?

Cubs Retool Around Bregman

Chicago landed Alex Bregman ($175M) and added Edward Cabrera via trade. The Cubs are serious about contending in the NL Central. Is this enough to challenge the Brewers?

Red Sox Finally Spending

Boston lost the Bregman sweepstakes but landed Ranger Suarez ($130M) to anchor their rotation. The Red Sox farm system is stacked, and they're ready to compete in the AL East.
