Winter’s here once more, and with it, a historic crop of free agents looking for new homes this offseason. This year, instead of just my picks, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with my former colleague from MLB.com, Kris Daly, whose picks are also shared for each player below.
While we can try to analyze positional need of teams and the perception of a player’s preferences, we know we can’t ever be fully sure — so of course, take these picks with a grain of salt.
Here’s what we came up with.
