2022 November 28th: Free Agency Starts!
Nov. 28th
Today marks the beginning of New Major League Baseball's free agent filing period. With it comes the uncertainty of an offseason filled with the potential for blockbuster signings, off-the-wall trades and a mad scramble to improve your club before you get left out in the cold.
General managers have the entire offseason in which to sign free agents. The biggest names on this year's market include:
Starting Pitchers:
LHSP Joel Gaspar(36, 3*) ex-NY 5-5 4.19 112K 23GS 2.5WAR 4x All-Star, 3x Gold Glover 1y/$12.8M wrecked body
RHSP Hector Mata(29, 3*) ex-SAC 14-7 3.10 162K 34GS 3.6WAR 2x All-Star, 2020 WL PotY 5y/$63.6M
RHSP Hagane Noguchi(37, 3*) ex-CHI 3-5 5.17 77K 16GS 1.0WAR 6x All-Star, 2018 WL PotY 3y/$30M fragile
Position Players:
1B Sal Masariegos(30, 4*) ex-JAC .272/.324/.414 10HR 54RBIs 95G 0.3WAR 1x All-Star 8y/$128M wrecked body
1B Ruben Garcia(32, 3*) ex-JAC .228/.283/.454 24HR 62RBIs 99G -0.2WAR 1x All-Star, 1x Silver Slugger, 2015 WL RotY 2y/$18M
Thats it.
Now, to get things done, onto the 40-man go:
RHRP Robert Estrada(23, 2.5/3*, 2-3 25SV 3.19 58K 48IP 1.3WAR AA)
2B Fernando Perez(22, 2.5/3*, .230-18-54 .718OPS 4.0WAR 111G AA)
UT James Slowik(25, 2.5*, .246-2-19 .618OPS 0.5WAR A/AA)
LF Roberto Pedraza(25, 2.5*, .231-7-40 .632OPS 0.1WAR AAA)
And now into the free agent
snoozefest. It will be a boring offseason I feel.
