The 2024-25 MLB offseason is underway as the exclusive five-day negotiating window for teams with their own players following the World Series comes to a close. With free agency officially commencing, the focus shifts to a highly anticipated free-agent class headlined by outfielder Juan Soto. At just 26 years old, Soto is entering the prime of his career and is expected to command an unprecedented deal that could surpass $500 million.
Among the notable free-agent pitching options are Corbin Burnes, Blake Snell, and Max Fried, all of whom are poised to be top-of-the-rotation starters. The crop of bats also includes notable names such as shortstop Willy Adames, third baseman Alex Bregman, first baseman Pete Alonso, and outfielders Teoscar Hernández and Anthony Santander. To provide a comprehensive overview of the offseason, Moneyline presents an extensive list of the Top 100 free agents, ranked based on their projected production and earning potential moving forward.
Starting with the ranks, Hunter Strickland, Thairo Estrada, and Ryne Stanek find themselves among the initial entries. Strickland, at age 36, rebounded after a year without major league action, compiling a 3.31 ERA with the Angels. Estrada, at 28, is viewed as a potential buy-low option, having struggled in 2024 but showcasing promise in the previous two seasons. Meanwhile, Stanek, now 33, remains a valuable option despite not reaching the elite status he once had with the Astros.
