MLB Free Agents: Latest Predictions as Offseason Heats Up

Introduction
With the conclusion of the MLB Winter Meetings, many eyes are turning to the free agent market as key players remain available. While nine of Bleacher Report's top 25 free agents have already signed, six prominent names are still in play. This article examines the latest predictions and potential landing spots for these remaining stars as the holiday season approaches.
Top Free Agents Still on the Market
Among the most sought-after talents, Kyle Tucker stands out. With a solid 2025 season showcasing a .266 batting average, 22 home runs, and an OPS of .841, Tucker is still a hot commodity. Surprisingly, there has been little movement regarding his future. While the Yankees seem like a fitting destination—given their lineup needs—their interest has not materialized as expected. Meanwhile, the Mets may be eyeing him as a potential replacement for Brandon Nimmo, although their offseason spending is uncertain.
Another possibility for Tucker's landing spot is the Toronto Blue Jays, although they have recently committed considerable funds elsewhere. A compelling option remains the Los Angeles Dodgers, who could entice him with a lucrative short-term deal.
Rumblings About Other Free Agents
Alex Bregman, with his consistent performance, is also a name to watch. After an unprecedented offer from the Tigers fell through, a return to the Boston Red Sox has become more plausible as they seek to solidify their roster. Bregman's right-handed bat would be a strategic fit in their predominantly left-handed lineup.
Then there's Bo Bichette. He remains a prime target for the Blue Jays, where he has unfinished business. However, teams like the Atlanta Braves could pursue him, especially to enhance their offensive lineup.
Ranger Suárez, coming off a strong performance with a 3.20 ERA, also remains a valuable asset. His injury history may deter some teams, but the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago Cubs are interested. The Blue Jays, fresh off signing another star, might not be pursuing Suárez any longer.
Final Thoughts
As the offseason progresses, much remains uncertain regarding the remaining free agents. With sizeable decisions yet to be made, teams are scrambling to fill their rosters before spring training commences. The upcoming weeks will be crucial as more clarity is expected regarding these players’ futures.
