(Also, BBRef doesn't list Wong as a free agent. Do we know for sure that Milwaukee isn't exercising his option? And if he's to come on the market later on, then others could, as well, so this list might be even longer.)

Aaron Judge, .394
Brandon Nimmo, .385
Andrew McCutcheon, .369
Matt Carpenter, .369
Carlos Santana, .359
Michael Brantley, .356
Brandon Belt, .356
Trea Turner, .355
Jose Abreu, .354
J.D. Martinez, .352
Josh Bell, .351
Andrew Benintendi, .351
Wilson Contreras, .349
Robbie Grossman, .346
Nelson Cruz, .344
Cesar Hernandez, .341
David Peralta, .339
Matt Duffy, .337
Adam Frazier, .336
Mitch Haniger, .335
Joc Pederson, .335

Actually, what this list tells me is that the Mets had better keep Nimmo…

Whatever. Im not concerned as much about career numbers. I’ll take recency bias compared to the guys on your list with their best years behind them. Last season Wong had a .339 obp. .335 the year before. I would take a chance on him if he does become a free agent. (It is not clear what is going on with the opt out) The players that are legitimately better would probably not be accepting an offer from the Tigers. It is clear you don’t like Wong, it’s your opinion. He may actually be on the decline, but he is someone that I think is a plausible risk. Also, you haven’t convinced me that he couldn’t hit lead off in Detroit or at the very least provide an upgrade to the lineup regardless of where he hits.
