From Carlos Correa to Marcus Semien, there's a bevy of position players to choose from in free agency this off-season. ArdenZwelling highlights the top 1️⃣0️⃣.
This off-season’s free-agent position player market is one of MLB’s most talent-rich in years. There are multiple up-the-middle superstars in their primes; quality corner defenders with power bats; dynamic, multi-positional athletes with on-base tools; and a bevy of depth pieces to round out rosters. For teams with holes around the diamond and money to spend, there are plenty of options to choose from. Here are 10 of the best position players available.Only 27-years-old and coming off a 5.
That might spur some clubs to look at the 2020 World Series MVP as more of a third baseman. But no matter what position he plays, Seager will be providing offensive thump atop some team’s lineup for years to come.The 2015 NL rookie-of-the-year and 2016 MVP hasn’t quite sustained the prodigious production he flashed early in his career, settling instead into merely a well above average offensive profile, batting .275/.376/.494 with a 130 wRC+ since 2017.
All signs point to Freeman rejoining Atlanta. But any club with a first base opening needs to be making a call regardless.Semien has been one of MLB’s most productive players over the last three seasons — full stop. He leads all MLB position players in fWAR since 2019 and trails only four players in home runs over that span. That he’s also been a strong defender at both second base and shortstop while stealing 29 bases only makes him even more valuable.
It’s probably more useful to consider Baez’s greater track record, one of an undeniably productive player who contributes at an above-average level despite some obvious warts — namely, MLB’s highest swinging-strike and strikeout rates since 2019. And that’s not to mention his strong defence at both middle infield positions and 86th percentile sprint speed. There will be a market for that, certainly. And whoever stomachs the risk may reap the reward.Considering he’s coming off a .309/.362/.
