We are already in January and there are still several high-caliber players who do not have a team in the MLB. Blake Snell, who has won the Cy Young Award twice in his career, heads the list of free agents.
Of Shohei Ohtani y Yoshinobu Yamamoto They signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Venezuelan Eduardo Rodríguez signed with the Arizona Rattlesnakes, Sonny Gray He came to the St. Louis Cardinals and Mitch Garver He was hired by the Seattle Mariners.
But there are still very interesting players in MLB free agency, like Snell, who has just been the National League Cy Young in 2023. He left a record of 14-9 and an ERA of 2.25 in 180 innings pitched, with 234 strikeouts and 6.0 WAR (Baseball Reference).
The legendary Clayton Kershaw is also in free agency after ending his contract with the Dodgers. There is a possibility that the left-hander decides to retire from baseball, but considering that he has not announced it yet, it is likely that we will see him again in the MLB in 2024.
Other notable pitchers still looking for work are Jordan Montgomery, Josh Hader, Marcus Stroman, Shota Imanaga y Aroldis Chapman.
There are also several talented position players who are not yet under contract in the MLB. Matt Chapman He is the one who has accumulated the highest bWAR in the last three years among free agents, with 11.4.
Cody Bellinger He also doesn’t have a team. The 28-year-old outfielder resurfaced in 2023, recording a .307 average, .881 OPS, 26 home runs, 97 RBIs, 95 runs scored and 20 stolen bases.
JD Martínez, Teoscar Hernández, Rhys Hoskins, Jorge Soler, Michael Brantley, Justin Turner, Eduardo Escobar, Joey Votto, Michael Taylor y Joc Pederson are other notable free agents in the MLB.
