Top 10 Free Agents of 2025

The 2025 Major League Baseball free-agent class is loaded with talent from power bats to frontline arms and elite relievers. While it doesn’t feature a generational superstar like Shohei Ohtani, it’s filled with players who can change the balance of power for years to come. Here are the Top 10 Free Agents of 2025, ranked by projected impact, value, and team fit.


1. Kyle Tucker — OF

A true five-tool superstar entering his prime, Tucker can hit for average and power while playing Gold Glove defense in right field. He’s the kind of player who instantly transforms a lineup.

Best Fits:
Houston Astros | New York Yankees | San Francisco Giants

Projected Contract: 8–10 years, $250 million +


2. Framber Valdez — LHP

The most reliable starting pitcher in this class. Valdez’s combination of durability, command, and postseason experience makes him the top arm available.

Best Fits:
Los Angeles Dodgers | Texas Rangers | St. Louis Cardinals

Projected Contract: 5–6 years, $140–160 million


3. Bo Bichette — SS

An offensive-minded shortstop who hits to all fields and delivers in big moments. His bat makes up for occasional defensive inconsistency.

Best Fits:
Toronto Blue Jays | Los Angeles Dodgers | Chicago Cubs

Projected Contract: 7 years, $180 million +


4. Dylan Cease — RHP

A strikeout artist with ace-level stuff. Cease’s whiff rate and pure velocity make him one of the most coveted pitchers on the market.

Best Fits:
Baltimore Orioles | Boston Red Sox | Los Angeles Angels

Projected Contract: 5 years, $120 million


5. Alex Bregman — 3B

Still one of the most disciplined hitters in baseball, Bregman brings leadership, defense, and playoff pedigree. He’s the definition of a winning veteran.

Best Fits:
Chicago Cubs | New York Mets | San Francisco Giants

Projected Contract: 4–5 years, $110–130 million


6. Cody Bellinger — OF / 1B

After rediscovering his swing, Bellinger once again looks like a multi-positional All-Star. His athleticism and lefty power are tailor-made for October baseball.

Best Fits:
Chicago Cubs | San Diego Padres | New York Yankees

Projected Contract: 5–6 years, $120 million +


7. Pete Alonso — 1B

One of the purest power hitters in the game, Alonso is a guaranteed 40-home-run threat every season. His leadership and durability add even more value.

Best Fits:
New York Mets | Chicago Cubs | Boston Red Sox

Projected Contract: 6 years, $150 million


8. Edwin Díaz — RHP (Closer)

When healthy, Díaz is electric. His strikeout-heavy arsenal and intimidating presence make him the premier relief option of this class.

Best Fits:
New York Mets | Texas Rangers | Los Angeles Dodgers

Projected Contract: 3–4 years, $60–80 million


9. Kyle Schwarber — DH / OF

A clutch, left-handed slugger with postseason power that can change games. Schwarber’s leadership and energy are unmatched in any clubhouse.

Philadelphia Phillies | New York Yankees | Seattle Mariners

Projected Contract: 3 years, $55–70 million


10. Munetaka Murakami — 3B / 1B (Japan)

The 25-year-old Japanese superstar brings jaw-dropping power, but lacks plate discipline. If posted, he could become one of the most exciting new faces in MLB.

San Francisco Giants | Los Angles Dodgers | Seattle Mariners

Projected Contract: 6 years, $120 million
