I Made a Free Agent Prediction for Every MLB Team

[@timmoney1988]

As a Giants fan, I'd be surprised if they don't sign Ha Seong Kim. They've been the team rumored to be most interested, they badly need a middle infielder, Kim and Jung Hoo Lee are best friends, and Kim played under BoMel in San Diego. I also think having two Korean players on the same team is super appealing, and maybe they can be South Korea's team the way the Dodgers are Japan's team, which could help recruit future Korean players that are posted.

[@armchairanalysisX]

Love jolly, but his take was wrong. Tyler Fitzgerald is NOT an everyday shortstop. He was incredible last year but his defensive metrics show he isn’t the long term solution. He should be our second baseman. The giants really need to sign Kim or Adames for long term stability.

[@kevinbodan4928]

Jolly, Porter Hodge had a 213 era+ last year with a 10.9 strikeouts per nine in 43 innings. He is a legitimate closer option for the cubs

[@1FMAlchemist]

The Giants will not sign Torres for the reason that Posey wants the team to be better defensively. Posey was also a watchdog when he was a player and would call out teammates if they slacked off or did not give it their all. Torres has a reputation of being lazy. Torres does not fit the Giants culture.

[@nickbovi]

Totally agree, Giants are going to most likely sign Ha-Seong Kim, Tyler Fitzgerald keeps the shortstop spot warm until Kim heals from his surgery.

[@1FMAlchemist]

@@nickbovi couldn't agree more, if there is any FA that is most likely a Giant this offseason it would be Kim. Kim is coming off an injury and an ok but not great year, so he can't ask for too much money. This fits well with the Giants plans of trying to spend less this offseason.

[@xeterh]

The Angels pick is interesting because Iglesias was on the Angels in 2021 and got cut. I do agree that the Angels need as many backups as they can get with the infield. For the past 2 years, the angels have been riddled with infielder injuries and I've seen some awful production/defense from the back up infielders

[@russellchung3119]

Yeah. It's kinda funny because that season he started off pretty hot for us before he started to peter out and not perform so well. I think the Kevin Newman move is the depth piece move that Jolly is getting at. By the middle of the season, the Angels infield is never the same infield that we go into the season with 🤦 (see Luis Guillorme and Matt Duffy 💀)

Estevez to the O's would be absolutely electric. But outside of Kimbrel and the trades they made to get Seranthony and Soto, Mike Elias loves to go dumpster diving for relief pitchers.

[@aDampCheesecake]

I like Clay Holmes to the Twins, it gives us some back-end insurance we were lacking this past season. Duran was inconsistent when healthy and Jax was phenomenal, but outside of them it was really dicey. I think creating a three headed dragon at the back of the pen with Duran, Jax, and Holmes would keep our high leverage guys from burning out and Rocco could continue to pick his matchups since he doesn't strictly use one guy in the 9th. Having a three man closer by committee could elevate each of their respective games too

[@justdale8128]

as a guards fan, i can see us resigning Bieber unless he’s more focused on the money, which signs have pointed that there’s mutual interest between team and player to get a resign done. please let clay holmes go to MIN tho, we’ve had his number through the playoffs 😂

[@parkercrossland410]

The trouble with Joc to Seattle is that stadium is a death trap for hitters. Players go there and see their numbers drop and chances for a strong contract evaporate (look at Teoscar, Jorge Polanco, Garver, Kolten Wong, Winker) Here's a list of players who have put up a qualified season with a .900+ OPS for Seattle since 2010 (15 years): Nelson Cruz (2015-2017) Here's a list of players who have put up a qualified season with an .800+ OPS in that same time frame: Nelson Cruz (2015-2018) Robby Cano (2014, 2016) Haniger (2018, 2021) Julio (2022-2023) Kyle Seager (2016) JP Crawford (2023) Ty France (2021) That's 7 players and 13 total seasons since 2010, not even 1 a year. While not all pitching parks are poverty franchises, most poverty franchises use pitching parks. Pitching is cheap, offense is expensive. By having a stadium that artificially deflates scoring, teams offer the illusion of appearing more competitive by losing home games 4-2 instead of 9-4. The Padres are a rare entity to exit the limbo of being a pitching park poverty team, but it took hundreds of millions to do it. Seattle will never change its ways. If I'm Joc, I'm hunting a long term contract or if one doesn't arise a short term deal in a stadium with a short porch.

[@OH_MY_DOGGG]

That stinks. Perfect for Ichiro.

[@S_Over_Street]

Weather / climate does play a factor in Seattle. Especially in the early part of the season as evening games in April & May are cold & the ball doesn’t jump off the bat like it would in a warmer climate area. Seattle would have to overpay someone to come to Seattle, which this ownership would never do as they rather pocket the money themselves.

[@parkercrossland410]

@@S_Over_Street That or move the fences in, which they'd never do either. The current tandem of low batting average MLB environment and park that limits home runs means runs simply will not be scored there. But they'd rather lose 1-0 than 6-3 because it looks like a closer game.

[@S_Over_Street]

@@parkercrossland410 also too the players & coaches are also at fault as well. Their hitting coaches that got fired before Edgar Martinez took over in Mid August made things complex for them. When Edgar came in, he basically simplified it for them & that last month & half of the season the Mariners offense got better. Plus the leadership of Justin Turner in the clubhouse the last 2 months is what was missing earlier in the season. This team needs hitters, not power hitters. Speaking of T-Mobile Park, what Teoscar Hernandez said about the Batter’s eye backdrop past CF isn’t lined up directly to the batter’s box, making it visually harder to see the ball when pitched. Said many hitters in MLB notice this. This is something Mariners ownership needs to address if this is a problem with players in the league.

[@DuckFormeal]

I like a lot of these predictions, but I doubt the Cardinals sign a SP with Gray, Fedde, Mikolas, and Matz all under contract while they're also trying to make room to try out some younger arms next year. They probably would've just picked up Kyle Gibson's option if they wanted another SP for next season. There's a good chance that they only sign a reliever or two this offseason and leave it at that.

[@live4themoment94]

Padres are hurting financially, that much is true but Bieber didn't have a good year so he's cheaper and all we need is a fill in for Joe so 1 or 2 year deal with opt outs and player options and it's done. As for Sasaki I absolutely think the Padres get him even though the world says L.A. Will. Only time will tell but a rotation of Yu, King, Cease, Bieber, Sasaki/Vasquez puts you right back in contention. Let's hope Preller gets it done

[@justareyesmedia3750]

Jolly I usually agree with you, but sadly not on the D’Arnaud signing. Relatively low cost veteran to help O’Hoppe manage the rotation and take that next step. Could join the coaching staff after.

[@paytonkaye5649]

5:11 ahhh if only, Jed is on record saying he doesn’t like to hand out the big reliever deals (or any big deals 🙄) I think they probably start with Hodge as the closer and hope for injury bounce-backs from Almonte and Alzolay. Maybe sign 1 or 2 depth guys as well.

[@ghostofyou9721]

As a Cubs fan, I don't think we need an extra bat. However, signing Roki Sasaki and Tanner Scott would be perfect. The bullpen was a huge problem in 2024. And the fact that Cody Bellinger stayed was brilliant. I honestly think the Dodgers don't make a move for Sasaki.

[@jonseals]

Normally, I would agree with you about Kikuchi being a good fit for the Cardinals. However, they are more interested in giving their younger players opportunities in 2025 while they revamp their minor league system. Sonny Gray says he wants to stay through this "reset" (their word). Fedde could be traded for prospects. Mikolas and Matz might be untradeable. They also have Pallante (lock) and McGreevy (semi-lock, 6th starter at worst) in the rotation. If they trade more than two of Fedde, Mikolas, and Matz, they could be looking to sign a cheap, free agent starter to cover innings until Quinn Matthews is deemed ready. However, I think Kikuchi would cost more than the type of starter they're likely to add. It will probably be more like Rich Hill or some guy who gets DFAd before the Rule 5 Draft. It will be a non-consequential deal, at best.

[@Adaman135]

A teo deal would be nice, but I see the Jays going with Springer/Varsho/Schneider for now. I see the os going hard on a starter like Max Fried to replace the hole left by Burnes. I don't see the Astros spending much at all on someone like Alonso after getting hoodwinked by Abreu.

[@brandenp1187]

Don’t think Eovaldi to the Phillies makes sense. Yes they should try to move Walker, but they have Painter.

I have a bit of an odd one but I have a feeling that Pete Alonso is going to be a Yankee next season. The Yankees are in need of a solid bat at first base and Pete Alonso on a 1-3 year deal with a team option/player option seems like a good deal for both parties. Teams don't seem very interested in paying him exorbitantly this off-season with how meh last season was for him. The Yankees putting him in a very hitter friendly park might be a match made in heaven to unlock those 2019 juiced ball numbers. Plus Pete won't have to move cities which is also another reason Pete might want to become a Yankee.
